It was inevitable. Most users aren't interested in the technology. The
content could be delivered by magic for all they care. My Nokia doesn't
have a replaceable battery and will die someday so I keep abreast of the
phone market. All the reviews are concerned with is how well the phone can
play videos, take photos, and play games. For that matter most car reviews
are more interested in the entertainment system than what lives under the
hood.
