FWIW, another point of view is here:

Of course Apple isn't the only company with a less-than dazzling history
concerning 1st generation products.  It is -- or should be -- an unwritten
law that buying 1st gen products is a form of Russian roulette that doesn't
risk physically putting tiny fragments of your brain on a wall.  Even if you
pull the trigger two or three times and just hear a reassuring "click!", the
mathematics of it dictate that sooner or later you'll never hear anything
again. 

The good news with Apple (as far as my experiences have shown) is that
usually, their 1st generation products aren't actually bad; but when they
aren't dazzling, they can be badly disappointing.  And the bad taste in the
mouth left by seeing that v.2 of your prized v. 1 product has the features
you would have liked -- if only you would have waited.

 
Shalom.
