Interesting article on the Light Phone, a minimalist phone that pretty much lets you make phone calls and nothing else.

One thing I like about this article is that it also discusses some of the challenges of developing a product and releasing it. The first Light Phone was almost too minimalist: it didn’t have a contacts list or texting. The challenge with the second version is the fine line of which features to include and leave out.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.
