It's just "Murphys Law of Technology"- more advanced something is the bigger a pain in the hole it gets in terms of losing it, dropping, being finicky etc;
kind of like Blu-Ray Players- I bought a high end one a while back- it takes 10 minutes to get started on a disc between connecting to the net, downloading bonus features, installing software upgrades etc.. aaaarrrrrgh- sometimes I'm sure VHS was better in many ways!
