I was made acutely aware of this the other day when out with my girlfriend to pick up: a replacement iPod for her and a cordless phone. After playing with an iPod nano for a couple of minutes while settling on colour/features etc, we then went to look at the cordless phones... The contrast in design choice just left me depressed. All the phones were crappy, ugly things, with user interfaces that were just awful. Maybe they had really good features but I didn't care, because it looked to me as though the designers didn't care about their product. And this was something I was going to bring into my home and use everyday! The whole experience left me bummed. I left with just the iPod.
