I’d never come up the idea of a "First Device" although the more I read the more I realized this label is spot on. We’ve all got a "First Device" … be it a Pocket PC, Smartphone, iPhone, tablet pc, you name it. Hit the link below for this (fairly short) but great article…

A "First Device" is what smartphones are to most of us. You have this thing that you grab right away to Get Things Done or Be Entertained. You need it to have a few compelling features:

• Instant On
• Easy to Use / navigate (software-wise)
• Aesthetically Pleasing (in other words, fly)
• The right size

 

It’s not just about immediacy, though that’s important, it’s also about filling a need that you have. After you’ve used your First Device, you want to feel like you got your thing done with a minimum amount of hassle, you want to feel like you accomplished something cool.

Oh … and Dieter … if you have the ear of El Jobso would you mind telling him I’d really like to have the spoon back in my iPhone coffee. Thanks!
