It is typical for technically-minded people to not buy new Apple products due to missing features and perceived design problems ("No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."). Often after not using the product long enough to see if it's really a problem. Or, perhaps to discover what really is there (as opposed to what seems to be missing). These people -- quite astonishingly -- seem to not appreciate how much testing and prototyping Apple does with new product categories. And then, to denounce the product as likely-to-fail in tech forums due to their personal lack of interest. Such people are trying to answer an aggregate market question, with weakly-informed personal tech prejudices. Anyway, this mode of reasoning has proved to be quite misleading; it has missed the boat on every major Apple product category. So yes, I think these observations don't really move the conversation forward.
