Tech:
Is bigger always better? This question can be swung in two directions when it comes to purchasing a new piece of technology. When I say two directions, I am talking about the purpose that your piece of technology will be used for, and the time frame that you purchased your product.
For instance, you may want the largest possible LCD TV that can fit in your living room, that way you can receive maximum exposure when it comes to watching the big game or a movie. Yet when you are finding a TV for your kitchen you are not going to want to have one that takes up too much space (at least in my own opinion). This would fall along the the purpose that you will be using your technology.
When I state the time frame when purchasing a product, the example that clearly demonstrates time frame is the size of our iPods. When the iPod first came out 10 years ago they were the size of the classic iPod we see today, yet 2 years later everyone wanted small iPods; iPod Nano (which is even smaller today). Then the introduction of the iPad came about and everyone started to want bigger screens.
So here we are today, and I feel that when we begin to look at the smartphone industry, the general consensus is that the bigger the screen size the better the product. So is bigger really better....in the sense of owning a phone?
This is a question that I have found myself asking regarding my upcoming phone upgrade. I was instantly drawn to the Samsung Galaxy Note when I came across it back in October, and if Verizon offered the Galaxy Note, then I would already own the phone.
I was playing around with the Samsung Galaxy Note just the other day and thought it as the coolest phone on the market (granted I HATE the Samsung stock interface), but then I got to thinking, how the hell would someone be able to carry this phone around in their pocket.
Now I understand that females can carry this phone/tablet around in their handbag but the capabilities that come along with this phone is more for the business person, so no college age, gossip queen, chick will have a purpose with this phone.
So now I find myself in a tight decision where I do not know whether or not to purchase a phone of this magnitude.
