Well, you are into hardware, so you only use stable products :-D
As industrial engineer I know what it takes to develop any new product. The real world is enormous and you will always face the unexpected when releasing something new. People is going to buy your product and travel to Siberia or the Sahara desert, or to the beach, and discover things about your product you could not plan.
The fact is that early adopters usually are "long tail beta testers".
So when I buy a product is 2 years or so after it was first released and never have the problems that my friends that are early adopters have.
