Ask HN: Did anyone get their myo and what do they think of it?

I just got my myo (https://www.thalmic.com/en/myo/) and was wondering what others have thought of it? So far, general calibration has been frustrating and there seems to be limited app integration atm.

There seems to be a lot of hype around this device, but I personally just could not get it to work very well, nor could the 3 or 4 people I showed it to. I understand that the gesture recognition is based on statistical data and there will be people with issues, so perhaps I am just one of the outliers. That being said, I have not tried their new firmware (I will in the next couple days), so maybe that will help.
