I am a technologist, but I'm not generally an early adopter. Part of being a technologist for me is letting other people kick the tires so that I personally can benefit from their costs, repairs, mistakes, and teachable moments. I'm not saying all techs do this, but I do. I like stability in my software and hardware and services. I have some exceptions, and Google's first foray into phone software, Android, is a key example, and one I've not regretted.
