It isn't the users' fault if a user interface isn't good. GNOME 3.0 was a big disappointment as well; it just wasn't ready yet. On the other hand, if a user interface IS really good, it will be praised by average users and power users alike. For example, pretty much everyone seems to agree that the Nokia N9 "desktop" UI is very well designed and executed - there's no need to make a distinction between power users and Average Joes.

First the press claimed that the UMD format sucks and that the PSP is too bulky to be carried around. At that time they were probably right. Now the same people are claiming that getting rid of the UMD format sucks and that the PSPgo is too small.

When Apple came up with the App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch the press was excited and rejoicing over the new age of digital distribution. Now it's Sony's turn and suddenly it's a bad thing.

Well, boo-hoo. It's always nice to be able to complain about something even if that would mean contradicting yourself. This is madness.

I have the original PSP-1000 but that didn't stop me getting a PSPgo. I can play those UMD games on the old system if I want but since it's so big I rarely carry it around. The Go!Explore GPS package, however, is very useful in the car.

The PSPgo is finally small enough to be carried around and I'm happy to buy new content over the air. I don't need the old UMDs or chargers on it. I can use them with the old system since that's what they're for. The system is very sleek and I really enjoy it.

I also have the iPod Touch. No matter how much Apple wants you to think it's a gaming device it really isn't - at least for all types of games. I've really missed the control buttons. Thanks Sony for bringing us a real gaming system that can actually be taken with you.
