That read like a patronizing advertisement. Like I said, the product is impressive and I want one now, but who said I was looking for perfection? I just want the software that comes with the hardware. Maybe you like gambling $500 for every gadget; I don't. They certainly don't market it as a beta test to help poor developers get funding. If it works as well as everyone says, then releasing a permanent, stable app v1.0 should be easy. Bug fixes and improvements come later, and my money will help fund that, so no Catch-22 here, they already had what they needed to start up years ago. Your comments regarding wanting perfection should be directed to Featherweight, who have been tweaking for years without releasing a single app. I don't think they are being intentionally dishonest, but the problem with hobbyists starting retail ventures is that they tend to be more engineers, not MBAs, and neglect the business side while endlessly tinkering with the hardware. At any serious company someone in management would have said long ago "Publish the freaking app already, you can make changes later! Are you trying to expose us to lawsuits?" They would have probably also mentioned that any company calling itself Featherweight should at least mention somewhere on their website the WEIGHT of the tracker.
