While many people seem uberly disturbed about the delays and "$5" charges (under 20% of people who pre-ordered it even seemed to affect), I took the opposite opinion. I'm excited to see a startup trying to build hardware and software, all from an original seed investment with ycombinator. It is suffering from situations most other seeded and angel invested startups go through, and they seem incredibly excited to improve.
What more could you ask for? Sure, the product. Fair enough, but give them some slack. It's not like some of the software vaporware we've seen (like The Hit List for iPhone). I know it must be hard not to be able to get that Venti Double Whip Quad Shot Mocha until you get your $5 back!
Whatever! This negative response only excited my interest in the product and I just got done pre-ordering one. And if I don't get it in a couple weeks, they'll release my $1 hold. Nothing lost. And if it ships, I'll improve my sleeping habits.
