I honestly don't get the drive to reserve one of these early. The way I see it, you won't get it for a year and they're making 15K of these. What's the harm in waiting until they launch? Assuming it all works out, they'll have all the production lines tooled up and ready to go, so you can get one much faster a year from now (and with much better understanding of how they work in practice). If it doesn't work out, then what are you missing out on?
