Or you can slap "liquid metal" and a large screen on it and catch the latest fad seekers. Which one would you do?
Wellll...
If it were me...
I'd do it smart from day 1...
a 3 step program...

Step 1- Use coined terms, alot of fancy nonsense-speak, alot of photos of staff looking very busy doing ...whatever...

Step 2- Fleece the idiot public...I mean really...shave ...the ... sheep...down to the skin baby...
take the money and run faaaaaarrrr away....

Step 3- Set up a device based properly ...
not on the immediate-shiny-bauble-gratification-of-the-moment kind of "want-it" device either...
But a device and platform which will stand the decades and give the consumer exactly what they need instead...
This kind of plan would be expensive and wouldn't be a money maker ..hence the need to "Pre-Fleece" maroons... to bulk up needed capital to actually service the "real" consumer...
In the end the stated device would have everything needed...and would look similar to say something like this....
Not pretty...not great on gas...but it has all the cool sha-wizza you would ever want / need...this device consequently goes down in the annals of history under " One of the Mythical Best Devices EVER" category......

Step 4 (NOT FOR PUBLIC VIEWING) - Immediately apply for "financial restructuring protection" since the conclusion of step 3 will never make any profit....and will in fact be a complete fiscal loss....

Actually what we need more of...
around here...
is everybody on a prescription of Cerebrafil ...
that'd help...
