Is The 6-Month Product Cycle Upon Us?

Posted by timothy on from the even-planneder-obsolesence dept.

Mark Goldstein writes "What is perhaps more interesting than the 4 new Konica Minolta cameras announced today is the rapid product cycle that seems to have been established by both Konica Minolta and other manufacturers." Rather than the yearly model updates that people have come to expect, the article notes that three members of this batch aren't even a year old, and one is only six months.

    Who modded this tripe "insightful"? Was everyone around here born yesterday?
