and the changing landscape ...
If we look back over the last fifty years, it typically took years for new technologies to reach their first million products in the field. It took the colour TV eight years to reach the million mark. The PC was faster, at 28 months, the Palm Pilot set a new record at 9 months. The iPod took just 17 days.
Wireless technologies have had even slower evolution. From the first to the millionth 802.11 chip took a leisurely 4 years. Bluetooth did better, but was still a slow starter taking 17 months from the first product to the millionth one, taking just another 5 years to get to the billion mark.
