Of course, different people have different views on your marketing strategy and device features & potential. Its normal...

However, since you're on the right website for what user category you're shooting this device to sell, why don't you setup a separate multi-query Poll Thread with questions like this:
- would you buy an Isostick?
- if not, why?
- for what purpose?
- for what price?
- if it has what features?
- with what warranty term?
- etc.
You may have several preset answer choices for each of your questions, plus an empty text field (I assume the forum allows that), if a user can't find the right answer. Plus, users would be able to leave separate posts in that thread with more explanations, why they chosen certain answers. Ideal target market survey opportunity...

I can suggest the following so far:
- Virtual Disk boot capabilities
- USB3 support is a must for IsoStick
- One extra pass through USB3 port
- One extra SD Card slot if you find the Thumb appealing to mass market
- 16 / 32 Gb Thumb
- No separate USB Hub product - they won't sell anymore
- Don't look at U3 features - they're scrapped by most manufacturers - study the reasons why...
- Fast flash memory suitable for the price and IT market
In suggesting this, I just look at what I use my 2.5" external Service SATA HD for, what ISO & VHD & IMA choice I permanently keep on it, ho much space does it take, why I don't use USB2 HD and neither Thumb flash drive for service tasks, what I miss in free bootloaders so far.
Having said this, I'd try to concentrate on making it appealing to a mass user feature wise - you'd need to do some market research for that. Because IT Pros would mostly prefer to use Grub4DOS and similar free tools to boot ISOs than pay $75 for about the same functionality. However, since Vboot author is also asking ~$75, try to look at what market he targets and how presents his product to make it appealing (assuming he has some sales) - just look through Vboot forum. You might be able to compete with HW solution on that market too, but it may need specific features.
