Of Cell Phones, Coca Cola, and Mexico

Just a quick revisit to the recent Cell Phone product idea.....

My work colleague mentioned he needed a super simple cell phone for his
70 year old mother. On a recent trip to Mexico, he saw such phones,
where you can prepay the minutes. Very simple and very cheap. He was
told by the sales person that the phones were not sold in the US
because they can charge more for phones in the US, but needed to add a
bunch a features to justify the higher price. My thought was, Charge
the higher price with less features. It will sell.

Also mentioned about Mexico.....

Evidently there is US demand for Mexican Coca Cola. Mexican Coca Cola
uses cane sugar as the sweetner, while Coke made in the US uses high
fructose corn syrup. For Coca Cola aficionados, the Mexican coke
tastes better. In the Seattle area, I have seen a Mexican restaurant
selling the classic looking glass bottles of Mexican coca cola.
