  • a technical jewel, perhaps interesting only to geeks, high performances and unseen-before functionalities but at a high price, i.e. low volume
  • a best-in-class for customer satisfaction, i.e. a device that might not stand out in a spec sheet comparison or get praises for its innovativeness, but its OS is solid and kept up-to-date and its maker has a highly praised h/w support policy
  • a device+OS that has a high rate of adoption among a specific niche of users because it fits their particular needs, which also implies that if its maker would like to extend its market and cover more niches it would need to come up with a strategy of modular h/w and s/w in order to tailor more variants
  • an innovating device+OS that opens an entire new market, e.g. some new interesting form factor for a wearable device capable of replacing a pocket smartphone
Something that displaces the current state of the mobile market over a few years; ie, makes the current state/duopoly/solutions almost obsolete.
