After the debate, Republicans who had been bailing on Palin rushed back to the fold. They know her relentless ambition is the only hope for saving a tick
If you take a look at the success of the Nintendo Wii, you'll see an innovative device with an incredibly compelling user interaction design (the Wiimote, nunchuck, steering wheels, fitness pads, etc). The device itself has what the industry might actually refer to as 'last gen' hardware. The video card is weak relative to the PS3 and Xbox 360, it doesn't come with built-in LAN (though you can buy a LAN/USB adapter for it), it has less memory and less processor power than the PS3 and Xbox 360. Yet, despite these so-called deficiencies, everybody seems to love their Wii, and it's actually gaining a lot of momentum sales-wise while the others are slowing down.

That is what all this new technology is intended to do, make one's life better. I have sat through several business meetings where the client thinks his new way is the best way, innovative and logical. All too often, the product never did well because the client forgot about a certain "human variable", people are not logical and innovation for the sake of innovation means nothing to most people. They want all-in-one, single purpose devices that work in a way that they are familiar with. The iPhone seems to excel at leveraging what people already know... I see an iPhone in my future.

The Wii does have built in Wi-Fi. I was able set up a computer to computer wireless network with very little trouble.
