Apple is a great example of doing less and charging more for the experience. Back in "the day," a great computer came laden with all of the latest and most powerful stuff.

Not a perfect analogy since most gadgets are clearly better small, but still... I think Apple has taken advantage of other companies underestimating the value of small as well.
