Well yes, but that's what the limited prototype is for, isn't it? I mean, this one product isn't really sink or swim for the technology, and even if it doesn't meet the loftiest of expectations there's sure to be a lot to gain from the attempt in regards to features, usability, and UX. After all, Blackberry smart phones sold extremely well prior to iPhone coming along and doing it "properly", but I'm sure Apple learned a lot of lessons from it. Even if many of those lessons were in what not to do.
