“My cus<strong>to</strong>mers tell me what<br />
features <strong>to</strong> add <strong>to</strong> the product.<br />
They don’t tell me they w<strong>an</strong>t a<br />
better user interface”<br />
‐ Major Vendor
“It's not the cus<strong>to</strong>mer's job <strong>to</strong><br />
know what they w<strong>an</strong>t”<br />
“A lot of times, people don't know<br />
what they w<strong>an</strong>t until you show it<br />

Food for Thought<br />
Dell sold 43M PCs in 2010, about the same as 2008<br />
PC sales are estimated <strong>to</strong> be flat in 2011<br />
HP is probably giving up on the consumer PC<br />
market<br />
Apple is poised <strong>to</strong> ship 30M iPads in 2011 up from<br />
zero in 2009. Plus <strong>an</strong>other 30M iPhones
