Wait are they seriously trying google glass again? Why is it always the solution looking for a problem people the same as the supply side people. They don’t understand that demand is the real driver.
Nobody had a demand for an iPhone before it was released. People just wanted a better Nokia
what? i absolutely wanted a cell phone with a decent web browser on it in 2007, are you high?
My phone did have a browser, but you had to type in using the numbers. What I really wanted was a phone with a bigger physical keyboard
it wasn't just the keyboard for me. phone browsers pre iphone were just absolute garbage with joke rendering engines. you were lucky to get a functional mobile site, let alone trying to render the desktop version. iphone was using the same rendering engine as desktop safari, which wasn't perfect but miles better than whatever the hell blackberry or sidekick were using.
Their point was that nobody knew they wanted an iPhone back then.
Back then the most feature packed phones were either some psuedo-gaming device, or a Sony Ericsson you acquired from Japan with no warranty and likely region locking.
I can’t just pull out my laptop at my shitty gas station job I had as a teen in 2007… I wanted an upgrade from my fucking slide phone’s shit browser. There was a huge market for it already. People KNEW they wanted it and it delivered.
yeah but nobody wanted google glass after it was released.
