Too Many New Products ?

I have been noticing lately that these phone and computer companies are making newer phones and other products like the Kindle at an alarming rate. It seems like a new product every day is announced. Do you think that these gadgets should be refined first before creating something new, or that we should all just go with the flow of replacing our iPhones and iPads every few months? Most of the time, people who I know who have these items (I don't have anything new, I am just happy with a house phone), complain about different malfunctions.

Well, the pace is here more than steady. They bombard you with new stimuli and you often get lost in all this. The noise is getting bigger and bigger. Of course, nobody tells you to have e.g. a new mobile every (half a) year. You can always say you're happy with the one you've got when they offer you a new model. I've had mine definitely for more than a year and maybe I have another next year.

I do think they should be refined more before they are released. Sometimes companies will rush out their products to try and gain an advantage in the market and when they realise there's issues they didn't notice before within the gadget they will make updated versions to try and rectify it. Its a balancing act because the company can take longer to test and modify it to get it perfect without any faults but risk having the product becoming obsolete before its out on the market. On the other hand they can fire it out get ahead of the game, make massive sales then try and fix the faults but risk damaging the company's reputation by selling poor quality products.

When I buy a mobile phone I expect it to last at least 2 years before replacing it as I don't want to buy a new phone every year.

I like having choices. It is also nice to see the market moving forward. I don't bother upgrading though unless there is something in the new tech that I really want to have.

True. Heck, my CPU is 2 years out of date, but it doesn't really matter since it gets the job done.

I do to, but it would depend on if the jump was big enough to justify the expenditure. Went I made the decision to build, I weighed if the jump from a 1366 socketed 960 to the 1155 Socked 2600k Sandy bridge would justify the cost. I'm happy with the decision.

I'm just not convinced that the CPU bottlenecks things all that much nowadays though. As it is, the hard drive seems to be the bottleneck in everyday tasks, and the GPU in games.

that's good, everyday is new, why not? but i am afraid that if these companies annouced products so fast, they won't care much about the quality, and customer expeariance, if they just want to release new products, not want to searh the technology, it will be bad

it's good to have new products as it is healthy for the consumers . Competitors are becoming more competitive

These firms are providing you newer devices every month but it is up to you that you buy it or not. They are providing you newer features and services on you cell phone and iPads for your convenience. Since the competition in the market it too high firms are now a days more concerned about launching newer products instead of thoroughly testing the quality of the device.

So while having a device for you what you can do is check the reviews and other research work of your desired product before having it in your hand.
