Some very negative comments here, which surprises and dissapoints me. I would have thought the HN crowd would be a little sympathetic to troubles a startup faces early on. And remember these guys aren't throwing together a rails app, they are working with hardware, which involves more factors out of their control. It's not like they can just drink more coffee and code longer to get this thing shipped.
They have an exciting, innovative product, which is something recent articles on the front page have asked for.
They perhaps shouldn't have taken cash so early, but lets cut them some slack.
I doubt any of the negative comments are coming from hardware entrepreneurs -- in fact I would go one step further and say most of the negative comments aren't from entrepreneurs. They're from whiney consumers who expect the world and don't create much.
