If you have hardware and shitty software the only thing that will happen is that your users will be disappointed. You can't change the first reviews or hand-ons "any time". It's a one-shot.
these aren't normal users. linux users choose what others may see as sub-par UX every day because we value other things. and they'll fix it themselves; it's not an apple-style top-down relationship, and I expect it'll iterate fast.
