From The Economist: "The world turned upside down". Innovation, especially in developing countries. How the ideas economy is heading east. And south. And good for them.
Meanwhile, from Wired.com: "The good enough revolution". Basic technology is enough technology. The success of the Flip wouldn't surprise the innovators mentioned in The Economist survey above. Simple tools for simple purposes are close to the heart of traditional Unix users, single-speed cyclists and zen photographers, who might otherwise have little in common.
Fewer materials. Less weight. Lower impact. Minimal cost. Reliability. Pleasure in use.
Simplicity is the future.
