You announce an update and then you disappear to see people reaction.
The first result is: people start to talk about nosense to let the time goes.

This reminds me...
During the crisis a couple of years ago I was working in a gym that was just a few months away from bankruptcy. Trying to boost the sales numbers and to please the members (preventing them to unscribe) the owners of the gym bought this crappy ass crosstrainer bike that was totally useless. Wrapped it up in paper so no one could see what it actually was and put it on display between the rest of the cardio machines, announcing to everyone it would be revealed in 5 days. Speculation began, people started to talk, people brought in friends as new members. Great **** marketing stunt. When the day came to unwrap the machine everybody went crazy out of excitement that had been building up the few days before.
End of the day, few weeks later the magic around the crosstrainer bike faded out and they fired my ass (under favorable terms and conditions) cause they couldn’t pay my salary anymore.

But after last three updates, Akai spoiled us, isn't it?
Everybody waiting for some new scifi features now.
I don't think Akai is in bankruptcy, at least I hope so

That's not accurate. I am one of those new customers that bought their first MPC (first the Touch, then the Live) because of the point updates. It's very likely my situation is not unique.
