How did PocketNC survive and thrive? A hardware startup that should have failed

The PocketNC is an amazing machine for the price. I still have trouble seeing how they are turning a profit, kudos if they are!!!<p>But the article worries me. Are we now supposed to be surprised that startups work like actual businesses and understand their costs and work within them? That should be a baseline expectation. If anything, this is what success should look like; not a &quot;we did all the dumb things but won the lottery&quot; story.
