Dave Hamilton on whether Apple is too late to the home automation market:

Apple was not first with a smartphone, but it was the best. It was not even first with a personal computer, but it was the best. Apple was not first with a laptop, not with a tablet, not with a portable music player. But in every one of those categories Apple released a product that solved the pain points that everyone had simply accepted from other vendors and products.

I wrote something similar last year, so clearly I agree. It’s never too late to fix a problem, especially when other companies have become complacent.
