I think back at many products that failed to gain traction and in many cases they failed not because they didn't provide a "wow, that's cool factor" but more because they weren't built with the everyday consumer in mind. Building something that's is cutting edge isn't the hardest part. It's building something that is cutting edge and easy to understand that's hard. The iPhone was a good example of a product that did both. We saw it and we got it and most of all, we WANTED it. Same with the iPad. Google Glass? Not so much.
