Used to be an earlier adopter. The thrill has worn off over the years as I realized that early adopters are only marginally better off than beta-testers and have made greater financial outlays. These days I'm content with buying only after products have been confirmed to be deliver on their promises. It has become a habit to read the reviews, especially the 2 and 3 star ones. The 5 star and 1 star reviews tend to be too biased to be given too much credence.
