Yeah, I get your point, and the A1 was never meant to be anything more than a developer board, and were made in such small numbers that they couldn't do the sort of testing that Asus do for example. I develop hardware for a living, the precision robotics / embedded computer type which we sell in similar numbers to the A1, and we have to draw a line to say we've done enough testing, even though we haven't absolutely tested it to death. We simply can't afford the time or the cost associated with such testing. However, 90% of our customers don't have a single issue and 10% of our customers do. So we release updated software, firmware, hardware. The A1 OTOH exhibits issues in what seems to be a majority of cases. Most people have fixed theirs, but faults that show up in significant numbers should be caught at testing, regardless of how large or small the company or production run is. I can't imagine ASUS for example releasing a motherboard which had faulty USB sockets for example, and we would never release a machine with those sort of faults either.
