It is cool that Dean pushed on anyways, but perhaps it would have been cooler if he had listened to Jobs, and spent a bit more time building a product that didn't suck. Either way, it's tough when you have a big bang strategy like this, because you can't iterate, you have to just decide when it's cool enough and then launch. If that decision's wrong, you're in trouble. It might be necessarily to go big bang here, though, because you need the cooperation of so many large organizations (like, governments need to legalize your product) and the goal is to help that along through PR.
