I think it was just a shock that this 300 devices to anyone who went to the summit before making these devices available to the developers was perhaps not well thought out.

And as I and Fanoush stated, WAY better than before. Just not optimal yet.

1) Get devices in developers hands (Priority #1)
2) once the developers have ported plenty, get the devices to an event like summit
3) release the device.

This would allow the hype to be all that much more when the bloggers get the device. It would ensure a smoother experience for less experienced users. Instead your best troubleshooters are sitting by helpless waiting for a device to show up at a carrier or a announcement of a device program.

Again better than in the past, just not perfect yet.
