Lifestyle Devices, or Something Other
I was talking to a friend tonite after visiting a Bible study and she asked me about a new mobile phone. She had a few items that it had to fulfill, but the key thing is that she wanted to make sure that it fit her life. Given what she was looking for, I was able to help her settle into two devices, and a plan that would not kill her budget. But I was left with the question: this person wants to do more with their mobile, but it it because the mobile is to fit their life, or that the mobile is something more?
In a recent article published at Brighthand, I talked about two types of mobile devices and the users that feather each. In both cases, I'm looking for some kind of connection between the person, the device, and what they want to be/do. There is some connection that can (at a small level) be generalized, but I wonder, in light of that article, if that is something that could also be asked here.
For you, is your mobile device - PDA, smartphone, laptop, etc. - a lifestyle device as described in the article, or something other?
