I've come to the conclusion that neither I, nor the majority of HN, have any clue what sorts of consumer electronics will actually succeed.

I was annoyed when Google killed the Nexus line and replaced them with Pixels and hoped it would fail so that we would get the Nexus line back, but they've been unable to keep up with demand.

Similarly this page spends a lot of time talking about cameras, which I have zero interest in, but seems to be important to a lot of people, yet everyone on HN is talking about everything but the camera stuff.
