Everyone is waiting for their kickstarters to complete... Much of the improvements we saw in the last year or so have been promised improvements for future products, and now it seems like it has slowed down (in the consumer sector of things) because everyone is holding their breath waiting to see who is able to deliver.

Just wait till late 2015/early 2016, when the companies who are able to deliver will have delivered and actual competition in a diverse marketplace of actual goods takes the place of competition for investment money in a market of concept renders. Actual competition will start driving innovation again. Real, productive innovation, rather than just a game of imagination with legal betting involved.

You can also look forward to your printer feeling out-of-date and overpriced within a month of buying it no matter when you buy it soon enough... It'll be like buying a computer in the 90s all over again.
