Like some recent eTechnologies: Apple Newton, Digital audio tape, DIVX, Dot-bombs, E-books, IBM PCjr, Internet currency, Iridium, Microsoft Bob, The Net PC, The paperless office, Push technology, Smart appliances, Virtual reality, Apple Lisa, Dreamcast, NeXT, OS/2, Qube, Speech recognition, WebTV...

Suits well to Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory.
