I think it's wishful thinking. Everybody WANTS it to be the next iPhone, because the iPhone was wildly successful. That level of investing acumen unfortunately amounts to not much more than noticing that the iPhone happened. Like I noticed the Beatles happened, but saying my band is the next Beatles doesn't make it so. The iPhone and the Beatles were both products of very unique circumstances including a lot of plain random luck.
