I'd much prefer a device that does just a few essential things well. That's a tool.
What we have, instead, is a toy.
I understand the marketing imperative to please the most spendthrift customers possible. But I do not like the result.
I agree with Jim. Bring on features that satisfy some users, and as long as we can pick and choose, without having 548 menu options, that is all good. You could triple the features and thus the settings options, but have only a small increase in the number of menus. So it keeps away from being cumbersome

Novelty seems to be the impetus: keep the customers interested with new, cool stuff. I understand that from a marketing point of view, but I'm a user, not a marketer or a shareholder.I appreciate changes that truly improve something - higher quality optics in the camera, for example - but "improvement" for novelty's sake can be much more annoying than helpful. A good model may be the Kindle app, which changes hardly at all, but does a few essential things very well.Kids love novelty. Many or most older people, I think, find much of it unpleasant. Imagine, if you will, auto manufacturers who made major changes to the driver controls in every new model. For me, iDevices are tools, not toys.
