I don't know.. I'm trying to think of a product that was fundamentally broken in v1 that was eventually "fixed" by exec encouragement/buyin/investment and ended up succeeding. Maybe Internet Explorer. Yea, I suppose Microsoft is the master of this "v1=shit, v2=shit, v3=barely usable, v4=world dominating" approach.

How about the iPhone? (No copy/paste, no apps, no 3G, etc)

Apple usually mail the core experience with v1, but all the ancillary roles have to wait till v3 or v4.
