The biggest issue with this whole WakeMate fiasco was the original ship date announced. Given all of the recent communication and delays, it is clear that the original January ship date was a fantasy from the start. If they had pre-announced their product but gave a more realistic ship date, they wouldn't be dealing with all of the negative press they are now. While figuring out how to ship hardware is very difficult for a company doing this for the first time, it appears they were nowhere near a shippable product when they set their original release date.
