I dunno, I just thought the real hot-heads had all upped sticks years ago for their own platform-of-choice-only forum ideas of utopia.

I'm happy that there's some activity, it's just that it's all seems so unduly negative.


For me, it's a price<>performance kind of thing. I find that the specs, hype and final cost (seemingly TBD) of this product are at odds with each other, which should be quite common for those of us in 'this' camp.

I do agree that there's a lot of negativity - which is only good constructively if the people behind the product actually care, listen to and consider the ramifications of such feedback. Especially in a forum such as this, for a platform based on the very reason ALL of us are here in the first place.

I will be choking out loud if this thing finally clocks in around $2300-$3k though. Totally preposterous price points. Wash. Rinse. Fail. Repeat.

What I don't get the exclusivity some desire, especially but not exclusively on the red side. Some seem to think an ultra high price is a right of passage and keeping an ultra low user base is somehow a good thing. EVERYONE should want to grow all the communities, not run off prospective users.


+1 and exactly. Too bad these people can't grasp the concept that cell phone companies got back in the late 90's. Use that as a model, just for a sec. M$ did and look what happened. But back to cell phones... talk about a frivolous product that MOST people do NOT need, yet WANT and make it their life long ambition to own and use.
