Dear Philips

Dear Philips,

I recently bought a Senseo coffee maker and am very happy with it.  It makes great coffee very quickly.  Quite often I want just a single cup of coffee and the convenience cannot be beat.

There is one problem that plagues me though.  I keep forgetting to change out the old coffee pods.  I end up wasting milk, sugar, and time because I then have to remake another cup.  Would it be possible to have the container for the pods “pop up” when a cup has been made?  This would prevent the coffee maker from making a new cup without closing the lid.  This would remind me to change coffee pods when I next use it.  I cannot imagine anyone wanting to make 2 cups of coffee from a single pod, so I don’t see a down side to this.

The Senseo coffee maker is so simple and easy to use and creates great coffee.  I am going to see if I can get them into my workplace.

Thanks,

John.

Dear Apple

Dear Apple,

I love the 3G iPhone.  It is my favorite gadget, and easily the best phone I have owned.  The screen is gorgeous and the simplicity of multi-touch makes it difficult to use anyone else’s phone.

I do get frustrated though with the predictive typing, especially in SMS.  I would like the phone to understand that I want to misspell something rather than have it attempt to correct me every time.  A simple configuration area where I can add words and change suggestions would be perfect thank you.

The app store makes the phone more compelling each and every day.  I really do need to stop finding my position on google maps while I am trying to drive.

Keep up the good work,

John.
