How to compete when you've got a new techonology? Apparently, one of those features is not quality. Transistors, computers, etc were initially poor but eventually became better than their competing technology. Interestingly voice recognition was mentioned where 80% on a Palm Pilot might be good enough even when it's not on a PC. Which was missed in a recent ZD column.
