Thanks Andrei, I understand the personal motivation behind why someone might buy such a vehicle. Its not my intention to ask you to justify your interest in it.
My question is still unanswered so let me turn it around. I see products that blindside markets, aka 'disrupters', as innovative; e.g. dyson. I see existing products that incorporate new technology in a cost affordable way as innovative; e.g. Prius. I do not see cross breading as innovation; e.g. sticking wheels on a skidoo. Great product design? yes. I do not see Suzuki, BMW or Harley fearing for their market anytime soon. I believe sometimes, and I'm guilty of this too, we can let our personal desires blind us to what is mutton dressed as lamb, with a little help from our friends in the Marketing Dept. A while back you called the Apple Air 'innovative'. Great product design? yes. At the time I felt loosing weight & functionality shouldnt be labeled 'innovation'. I couldnt get a firm answer out of you back then and hoped with your latest example of innovation I'd get a little insight in to why believe the process that created the 3 wheeled bike was worth noting. What do you see here that has the potential to create great 'innovative' software products? I see a mash-up, not something thats going to disrupt the motorcycle market. Mash-ups are stupid easy to conceptualise and that thinking exists in the software world today. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
