Hardware startups that suck

Yet another example of bastardry that makes it even harder for hardware startups coming along later

“Coin says its existing products can be used until their internal batteries die”. - http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/18/11700658/fitbit-coin-acquisition-announced  

Wow gee….thanks….nice product support there Coin.

Between this and the Amazon IOT button that dies after 1,000 presses - http://amzn.to/1qw6VBZ you have to wonder at the “designed to fail” mentality of some hardware vendors at the moment.
