    Yeah the iPhone was successful at launch because it was a sleek blackberry and had iPod like capabilities. But it didn’t blow up until the App Store came out. I expect this product to do the same, and in the same way, companies to release competitive products with similar capabilities in a feature war until the newest releases are mostly talking about resolution and processor speed instead of new features

      If I remember correctly, Apple said they can only make 400,000 a year. That’s a huge bottle neck to overcome for anything to “blow up” in sales and users.

      With it being this small, it limits user adoption. Businesses won’t want to invest to see if it will help their productivity because even if it does, they won’t be able to obtain enough of them to deploy to their employees (because it won’t be just their business that will try to obtain them). Same goes for the education sectors, government, etc…

      I feel that when Apple stated that production limit, they killed it from gaining adoption because it showed that it can’t scale to needed potential usage.
