i think you miss the point a little. Decide what is the key benefit, and get that right. Not pretty, but right. Your product solves a big problem, and if the problem is big and the solution works, then the product doesn't have to be elegant. People will be very happy with even an untidy , unfinished product , if it works. And, it won't need marketing.

Yes, for example almost a week ago Internet Explorer 9 was released. The marketing/promotion was great, everybody was eagger to make the download and play with it, unfortunatelly there is an entire list of bugs and this is not the product users have been waiting for. Release often but be true to your users/customers ;)

yup - we all love shiny products, and its tough to make the call to release when your product looks like an ugly gamma ver but the functionalities work. we've been doing that with the Gruvi app - apps.facebook.com/gruviapp for the last four weeks and we now have over 350 users ... i am still getting over the suprise on that one as we haven't even started the cool stuff yet. so release often ... measure and pray. the ROMP school of product development
