That can in some cases drive single company decisions.

I don't think that is a complete accurate description. There were plenty of early smartphones attempts (Nokia Communicator, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry etc.). Apple increased an existing demand by creating a better product. > Before there was Google, people had no idea that > they want a search-engine with page rank and snippets on > the SERP.

Google created a search engine that people liked better because it produced better results. >> Demand for Java on desktop and embedded in browser is very. > > So very very! I forgot a "low". Arne
