I agree totally. About the might not be right from a consumer perspective. Basically I just think you shouldn't start selling anything until it is good enough.. What do you think?

A feature/app might be working well from a technical point of view but what if it's not right from a consumer point of view? I don't think you'd be out of beta in that case. Unlike all other platforms, online apps can not only be changed and adapted but they SHOULD be changed and adapted. It's a never ending beta. Feedback and comments nourish them so they can evolve to work well. Cut the "beta", the process is on-going and never ending.
