You’re factually wrong about several things in what you wrote but, more generally, I think you’re very wrong on what it is, what it can become, and why it should exist. You can’t say that it’s failed spectacularly unless you know what the goals and targets were so I think it’s silly to even try to make that point, much less without anything to support that kind of assertion.

Even the absolutes in which you speak are wrong. I paid for one and am happy I did. I plan to buy more of them as our usage expands and it will pay for itself before the end of the quarter. If it gets better than this with successive versions, that could be considered a major success. I think everyone can agree it’s a niche product right now but to say that nobody wants to pay for one and that it has failed is just nonsensical.

Strange— you say I’m wrong, yet you don’t say how or about what, nor do you offer explanation or evidence. Also, I never said it “failed” nor that it was a “failure”, but at least you acknowledge I said that it’s a niche product (which sorta contradicts the “failure” claim, doesn’t it?)

I’m glad you like yours, and I also look forward to future iterations.

You literally said “it failed spectacularly”. If you can’t even be honest about things that people can verify right above my comment, then there’s no point in responding further since you’re obviously not discussing this in good faith.

now it’s happened with the launch of a major new product class— and it has failed *spectacularly*.

I said the launch failed, not the product itself. It’s not my fault that you don’t understand what you read.
