via Fierce Mobile Content:”The company [Verizon Wireless] also introduced a new feature-free handset, the Motorola W315, designed specifically to court consumers with absolutely no interest in mobile video, music downloads or any other bells and whistles beyond voice and simple SMS.
This confirms the two diverging trends of devices with more features every day and devices that are going to lose features and go back to super-simple tools to make calls and basic features.
Some other interesting readings on the topic of making things simple and not flooded of features:
– Google’s Plans for 2007
– Apple’s iTV may extend “beyond streaming video”
– Cingular’s Firefly
– Vodafone primofonino
