All tech products are Tranche 1
All tech products are Tranche 1 nowadays and riddled with faults, both soft and hard. A couple of half arsed patches to silence press grumblings and it's on to the next big thing. My last couple of purchases (Transformer Prime and iPhone 4s) resulted in deep self loathing. Once that subsides, no doubt I'll be seduced by the next shiny piece of crap.
