“Screw the nano,” said Zander. “What the hell does the nano do? Who listens to 1,000 songs? People are going to want devices that do more than just play music, something that can be seen in many other countries with more advanced mobile phone networks and savvy users,” he said.
Yeah. Screw the nano! Build a better, cheaper product. Build something we love, something we need, something to get us all excited about. Go ahead, Zander, screw the nano! Give us something better!
I’m not holding my breath. I know right now you’re too busy screwing your customers with crappy products. I’m one of them. I have this horrible, crippled, overpriced latest generation moto phone. It’s a shame. I still remember fondly the Motorola that made the StarTac. I still remember buying the second StarTac when I switched providers, I remember buying the third StarTac after the second bit the dust.
I know everybody loves you at the weekly [Jobaholic Envious](http://blogs.siliconvalley.com/gmsv/2005/09/bristling_at_ap.html) meetings. But you’re still feeling empty inside. Is it because you’re looking for true love? The love that comes when your customers open up the shrinkwrap, heart palpitating, face grinning, can’t wait to tell the world about it. Is that it?
It’s here, if you’re ready for it. This relationship went rocky when you stopped listening, and the whining drove us apart, but it’s not too late to salvage it. Just some simple steps. Listen to us. Validate our needs. Be expressive with your needs. That’s all it takes to bring the spark back to our life.
