I'll go ahead and list some other things I want from my technology: > It should be cheap, preferably free, since I don't have infinite money and would much prefer to spend the money I do have on things like food, housing and entertainment. > It should be easy to use, fast and generally have good UX. > It should be bug-free to a reasonable degree. (Does not need to be flawless but not so buggy that it gets in the way) > If battery powered, I expect it to last at least a day between charges since I am often out for the entire day. > Related to the UX point above: it should be fairly stable. I don't want my phone to stop working because some FOSS dev started working on something else and "forgot" about the package that is now a crucial part of my phone OS. Clearly some of these points conflict with each other and with the points in the original list. That said, I think my list is closer to the revealed preferences of phone buyers than the one in the original article.
