What would you like to happen when your device is no longer the latest and greatest??

I honestly wouldn't care. It's nice if you still get support/software/updates etc for your device once it's a bit older (and in the IT world devices become old very fast). But i think the focus should alway be on the latest, don't leave out features/functionality because they wouldn't work with old devices. This kind of thinking is exactly what got Microsoft stuck with that unmaintainable piece of $%&/ called Windows.
I mean here it is not even the case that 770 users are left out, they'll just have to wait a bit longer. But i think if everybody else had a chance to already testdrive the new release and find/report bugs, 770 users would profit in the end as well. (And they don't profit one bit from a general release).
