I wouldn't want to speak for other explorers, but if a next gen commercial product can build on the potential, create a better product, and create a way for developers to make money, that's a great thing. The current iteration and program seemed to have reached the end of its ability to generate new insight.

I'm happy with my participation, it was a chance to play around with a bit of what the future could be like. It was like owning a Nokia internet tablet back in the day. You could see what it would be like to make (skype) calls , stream music, and use apps on a connected computer in your pocket. But that didn't mean that one didn't think it was a great thing when the iPhone came out, and pushed the vision at consumer scale.
