Several times I've been too far ahead of the market and even in a reasonably small niche, it's impossible for a smallish start-up to move a B2B market towards a new solution or technology. Except for my last attempt, I've been lucky enough to have other products to sell.

What's most interesting to me is that he had both the foresight AND tenacity to wait for the market to come to him. Of course, there's some luck involved too ... what if Apple had waited even another 12 months? Would we be hearing the same story?

Anyway ... thanks for sharing a very interesting story.
