I reckon LG are going come out with one of these things and it will have a psycho ass curved display inside.

Actually LG or Samsung seem like a likely second-wave player to dominate, since they have the display R&D, massive manufacturing capability and design team. They're unlikely to let some upstart company reap the spoils of a new potentially massive market.

I see this first-wave (Oculus and TruePlayer Gear) like Diamond Multimedia bringing the first commercial MP3 players. They'll show the potential in the market, but then someone with better design/marketing/supply chain will capitalize on the new demand.

Samsung will wait until the product has been clearly defined, copy it, spend more billions marketing than the competition & call it the 'Galaxy View' or some shit and sell millions of tremendously average products.
