Paul, I'm curious, do you remember the name of the product or company?
We all must admit that in the consumer electronic market it is not about
how novel a product is, but how it is presented, advertised and whether
it comes at the right time or not. Think about the Microsoft guy who
held a tablet in its hands during a keynote well before the Apple guy.
And probably someone before him did the same with an even uglier device. :)
BTW it is not only about market. It happens the same with open SW/HW or
the academic community.
