Instant Market Share: leveraging technology (not necessarily yours) and existing infrastructure (not necessarily yours) for fun & profit.

By Michael Silbergleid

Sure, Apple’s iPhone is a success, but does anyone remember Apple’s Newton?  Polaroid instant photography was globally accepted; Nimslo 3D photography led to bankruptcy.  We remember the few successful innovations, not the many failures.  But there might be a way to use technology and infrastructure for new revenue streams with low risk and instant rewards.
