- Using existing hardware rather than designing new hardware.

I think the idea itself is nice. There definitely is a small niche market there because OM has proved it, but I think the root issue is the people, not the strategy. The real problem is not about the idea, it's about the execution. Execution is not just 'do as you were told', it's also about knowing the priorities, evaluating the reality and giving proper feedbacks to your superior. Now I see the same person who failed to materialize OM's idea is running the new company on exactly the same topic. For me, that concluded the future of this new startup. Let's see if I'm right on this. Time will tell.
