DC110 Editorial: When the UX of Less is More

In this first audio editorial episode, Tim relates how he
rediscovered the advantages  of small electronics devices
over their larger-screened brothers. Thanks to Dad for inspiring
this one.
Besides mobile phones, cars are another example of a product
range that used to punish customers who wanted a small size by
not allowing superior materials or features in them. Thankfully
for small car fans, it's getting better.
Smart companies recognize that small size product buyers actually
have two categories: those who can only afford the smaller size
with no extras, and those who want a premium customer experience
and will gladly pay for the extras if made available in a smaller
form factor. Small doesn't have to mean cheap!

I forgot to say that as amazingly good as the Lumia 820 is, its
camera is not why. This article details current Windows phones
and sadly, their trend of providing terrific premium small phones
is going in the wrong direction (still great phones if you like 5
inch screens):
