Tech late adopters are often better sources of revenue for ecommerce sites - they have more disposal income, pirate less, etc. "Let the unwashed masses suffer for their ignorance" loses a lot of business if your goal is to sell something.

I'd think early adopters have more disposable income. Those gadgets don't come cheap you know. iPods were $AU800 when I first got one.
Also, tech late adopters may have greater trust issues with buying items over the internet, particularly from companies they haven't heard of.

I think you can afford to worry less about CSS and other sorts of compatibilities at this point. Still important to make sure javascript doesn't break.
