Actually I think it's better to release things AFTER the competition. That
way you know what the competition has and can gear your marketing strategy
to show them up, point for point. You can't do that if your product is the
first. 

Kinda like the Apple Mac IIfx and the A3000. Apple comes out with a neat machine
and brags to everyone how great it is. Then CBM comes out with the A3000 and
basically says "PTHHHT! Oh yeah? Well look at this, ours is as powerful as
yours but at a fraction of the cost."
