I don't agree with the article referenced by Texfarm on features. The author Andreas Pfeiffer wants us to believe that the impact of many features is the same on devices like media players, cameras, etc., as it is in the field of softwares. My opinion is that although we normally want few features on, say, a camera, being that what we expect from such a device is the high quality of the photos by simply pressing one and only one button; in the area of softwares to me is a different arena. When it comes to softwares on the contrary, almost the whole body of users of a program ask the developers for the integration of many features. The more features the better while at the same time taking care of simplicity of design and user-friendliness. This is especially true in the field of PIMs. The user normally feels the need to do many things with the information in his/her database.
