It's possible. The Apple Newton is a great case study of a good idea that was too early. And the inability to minitiarize it sufficiently to fit in a pocket was one reason for it's failure. A few years later the Palm Pilot was much more successful because it could fit in your pocket, especially the baggy jeans that were fashionable in the late 90's.

Webvan's model hasn't yet been validated. The local delivery startups and offerings are still losing lots of money. If anyone can make it work it will be Amazing, but it has yet to be validated as a profitable business.

"A good idea too early" makes it sound like they were ahead-of-their-time geniuses. Reality is that everyone had that idea and knew the technology wasn't ready.

Ideas are the easy part.

I think it's more likely that Magic Leap will be way too late at release time.
