Lets be honest. Why do companies pre announce product. To stop competitive sales, create a demand so that they can have good sales at introduction. Typically there is a judgement call on just how far in advance to announce, Then figure in extra time for the we waited this long we will wait a little longer.
Bammmmm you have a killing intro sales demand. Oppps we guessed on product readiness then told then market something else... and now we have internal delays... followed by external delays, and now the market is just unbelieving.
CC will do good with the next minor product and gain trust... then the cycle repeats.


All in all we have to make our own judgement calls.
