Re: @Steelpillow: Still, one day...

You would indeed be wrong. But I have long experience both in the defence sector and in mindbogglingly complex bleeding-edge software/system rollouts (not necessarily on the same project). I merely share a simple fact of life which most of you will never have had the experience to discover for yourselves. I'm afraid it will take more than a few script kiddies downvoting me to get this tricksy little piece of hardware flying the carefree hands-on way she is meant to. Without knowing the "features" in question, I'd expect another year or so of squishing and tidying, as long as nobody is dumb enough to change the requirements mid-flight. Longer if they don't coordinate the various releases rolled out to different customers. But come that day....
