Re: adjacent markets: I saw a Dyson branded hair curler the other day, which threw me for a loop! There was a big poster with a quote (from the CEO?) about how they want to become experts in this domain, implying they just decided to branch out one day. Does anyone know more about this?

Edit: I don't know much about hair curlers, but apparently Dyson's airflow expertise gives them an edge here.

I don’t know about curlers, but for hair dryers, bio ionics are great.
I really wanted to like the Dyson hair dryer but unfortunately the performance is lackluster. I can get better airflow and weight/space efficiency (important when travelling) out of a budget model.
Wait till you hear about Dyson hair styling products (creams etc)
