The problem is, a great number of things that get to beta test, esp. hardware, don't necessarily make it to the market. I have a friend who works for IBM, and he's seen stuff in their development labs that would make you respect IBM. But the Pearly Gates to the open market are guarded by marketersand MBA's, not engineers and computer users.
