FYI, Ash Maurya built CloudFire to solve this problem, but since he's moved on to being a "lean startup" guy, the product seems to have been abandoned. There are probably valuable lessons in the history of that product.
Finally, I have to admit I'm getting tired of the landing page gambit. Maybe it's just early-adopter-itis, but if I'm interested in your product, I want to touch it, play with it, right now.
A landing page doesn't solve my problem. And there are so many "landing page" products in existence now, that I question whether the strategy is beginning to turn people off.
Having to wait for a product that on average never actually ships is annoying. Don't bother me until you have something to show. YMMV. :)
