I've been trying to crack #1 for several years now. I agree with you 100%--my primary domain is software development, and it's sort of overpopulated in terms of developers solving those problems. You would think that through consulting and contracting, I would meet some people and get some additional domain insight. But most of my clients don't really know any more than I do about their target market (and they don't do very well... but at least I get paid). I do have one or two real problems in the general domain of "computing professionals" that need solving. But the barrier is higher than just a software developer in a garage (or else someone would have already done it). Ideally I need a hardware hacker on the team. And, let's face it, that's pretty hard, and hardware costs $$. So I'm still looking for some non-computing domain that I could solve without custom hardware.
