Windows Phone Thoughts: Strong Growth in Gadget Sales to Continue in 2005

"The explosion in consumer technology is to continue into 2005, delegates at the world's largest gadget show, in Las Vegas, have been told. The number of gadgets in the shops is predicted to grow by 11%, while devices which talk to each other will become increasingly important. . . . It was clear also that gadgets are becoming a lot more about lifestyle choice, with fashion and personalisation becoming increasingly key to the way gadgets are designed. "

Well, this BBC news story doesn't exactly contain any great surprises. Personalising gadgets and getting just the right blend of features that are right for you? It'll never catch on. ;-) I wonder where all the cash to fuel this growth is coming from. What are you guys giving up to get your gadgets? Will there always be somthing better round the corner or is there such a thing as 'enough'?
