The Community is about getting involved, Release Early Release Often is about getting involved from the inside, and as the developers without devices have found, you can only get so far without a device. Its not about overlooking the short comings, but without a device its pretty hard to identify them for real, and then helping out to fix them or change them.

I'm not suggesting that you cant get involved without a device but its probably a fact of life that membership requires ownership if not at least access to a device.

Ummm sorry, I don't get what you mean.. which part of my reply to gerbick were you responding to exactly, and why?

EDIT: Ok, re: fanboyism, maybe you should read the post I was replying to to understand the context better.
