Pretty much every product Apple launched before the Vision had a specific use case at launch:

- iPod: 1,000 songs in your pocket

- iPhone: Phone + Internet Communicator + iPod

- iPad: Media consumption device

- Vision: ???

Of course all these products had shortcomings when they first launched, but there was a specific purpose in mind for them in their very first iteration. What the initial devices could do was limited, but what they did, they did better than anything else.

The Vision is missing that initial use case, and it's what makes it feel half-assed.
