Don't bail when the going gets tough. Launch and give it everything you got for the next 3-6 months. If NOTHING comes back, give up. If it starts trickling in and you see potential, continue pushing. Otherwise, give up.

Agreed 100%: Launch, launch, launch. It's easy to get demotivated if you're working on a piece of stale software on your laptops.

Get some ants in your ant farm, watch what they do -- it may be what your co-founder needs to start believing in the product as well. If you quit now, you will _always_ wonder if something could have come from these TWO YEARS of your life.

Seriously, launch. Don't debate, don't discuss, don't send resumes; launch. What's the worst that can happen? If you prove that you can't get traction, at least you will have seen it through.

Again, LAUNCH.
