Right. Could you POSSIBLY design a less-helpful, less-informative page?Maybe one with even more annoying keyhole-cropped images? Maybe! But you could not possibly under-improve on the random little rainbow bug bottom right that does nothing and says nothing.



You guys are misunderstanding the purpose of the page. It clearly says this is a SNEAK PEAK. It's like a teaser instead of a trailer. Obviously it will suck if you look at it as a product page, because it simply isn't one.




Exactly. The point of the page is to pique your interest, ideally to the point where you decide to sign up for email updates. In many ways, giving more concrete information works against that goal, so the page doesn't do that.


But we don't want that, hence the complaints. Sign up for a newsletter just to get the technical specs for a random tablet? Come on. Marketers needs to stop taking drugs.


The complaints I replied to above were directly to a product page, and this is no product page. Therefore their complaints are simply misguided.

And what you want is irrelevant, are they not allowed to put up a website like this you think?
