Straydog,

You may be of a 'certain age' as I am, and I am often bemused with all 
you speak of.

I was watching "The Devil wears Prada" the other night. There was a line 
in the movie (and very true) where the Meryl Streep character states 
something to the effect that the Target/Ross/JCPenney/Sears clothes that 
the assistant was wearing were a direct retooling for the m***** of 
former fa****on trends that the high fa****on industry (she) had created.

So true.

Cell phone are exactly the same. No one would care about cameras in 
phones had the Japanese youth culture not embraced it as they ddid a few 
years ago. 

Cell phone mfrs had a tough time selling them to US market -took a 
couple years of hard sell (and huge ad budgets) to finally get youth 
market here on board.

If I were you, I'd buy one of those prepaid emergency phones you see in 
back of Sunset Magazine. These guys hit the nail on the head with the 
niche market they are targeting- a phone with simple features and large 
display.

The irony is that these phones will come back in a few years as hip 
retro accessories, but then again today, little is truly new, only 
recycled (don't get me started about music - you'll never see another 
Doors)
