What about the first time Kindle buyers who got bit by Amazon's inexperience in developing and manufacturing electronic devices? If we slam B&N for this, Amazon should be in the same boat (this is where I get into the pot/kettle remarks). It took Amazon the 2nd revision to not run into shipping problems.
If the issues related to the preliminary hearings are true, this is very likely not even a case of B&N tweaking the device until it ships, but rather lawyers giving B&N advice on how to behave in order not to get hammered by the judge, which is what good lawyers do. What happens in a court can cause even the best laid plans to make an about face and walk off a cliff at a moment's notice.
