> but I'm not sure the market is exactly ready.

Eh, the market wasn't ready for a very expensive SSD-only laptop, or a $500 touch-only phone, or a bigger phone called a tablet.

The market "not being ready" didn't hurt any of those things... Skate to where the puck is going, not where it is now.

Didn't hurt? Perhaps, but it didn't do much good to them either. Just look at Nokia who had a touch only phone in 2004 (7710) and a tablet in 2005 (770). Those techs only succeeded years later with iPhone (2007) and iPad (2010).
"Skate to where the puck is going" is a very succinct way of communicating that! Love it, gonna use it from now on. Thanks!
