Nice designs, it will be interesting to see how close they come to what we’ll see in the future from Apple.

This was ironically posted on the same day I decided to try and get graduate research credit on the topic of the importance of good design as a marketing elective. Increasingly, I believe designs, not technology, will be the true product differentiator.

There’s a fairly clear correlation between the Starbucks phenomena and the popularity of the iPod. Give the customer a high quality product mixed with a pleasing environment (whether it is a coffee house or slick human-computer interaction) and you will be rewarded.
