Thanks for your sharing. You sell through online channels? How do you deal with storage and after sales services?

Nice comment. I think there is indeed an inherent "inertial" in hardware business. A software/website service can have different usage. Users may prefer to use a smaller part of the service, or using the main service for purposes not originally conceived by the creators. In this way there is a chance of pivoting. However a piece of hardware has a very focused usage. All parts are integrated to provide a single function for the user. Also, unlike software, there is no straightforward way to collect real-time data on how a user uses their hardware.

Difficulties of a hardware startup, compared to a software one, is mainly of storage, selling channels and after-sales services. The inability to iterate quickly is also one of its problem.

Unless someone come up with a solution for these problems, I don't see a renaissance of hardware in the form of many startups (but can be in other forms, since now Win 8 is encouraging hardware creativity)

Quantum theory is already nonlocal.

Unlike Galaxy Note, this is a true combination of phone and tablet; Unlike Padfone, this is one single device without detachable parts. Post +1 if you like the idea.
