The masses are probably going to want one once the tech matures a bit and Apple releases one. I wouldn’t be surprised based on the way it went with MP3 players, tablets, and even touchscreen phones in the first place.

If Apple doesn’t release one, it’s because the tech is too fragile, and that’s a huge signal worth waiting for if you’re on the fence.

or it could go the way it went with phablets or AMOLED -- two related display techs that are relevant to this particular tech.

or Apple doesn't understand the tech, or doesn't know how to package and market it.
