You wouldn’t have the wave of stories of returns and eBay sales and not a single one sold in weeks. Instead, you’d prob have people actively trying to build more cool stuff for it. But the positioning as a ready to market device set expectations the launched product cannot match. And maybe that changes at wwdc, but momentum is lost.</p>
