KISS me

KISS is an acronym for Keep It Short and Simple. It is one of the basics in advertisment and design and most often disregarded to punch in new stuff. But do we really need it that way? I do not think that I’m the only person feeling that way. Let’s have a look at mobile phones: most phones include mp3 functionality, camera, radio and things I cannot even pronounce.

Ok, I own a nokia e61 and I am quite satisfied with it as long as it acts the way I want it to. But do we really need that stuff in there? Mobile TV? Do we really need a camera with some megapixel?
