I think if there is any issue it's just getting all the ducks in a row.
#1 The development environment
#2 Developer documentation (APIs, methods and properties)
#3 Code samples
#4 Beta test the OS and iron out any bugs.
#5 Develop the user features and iron out the bugs.
#6 Develop and test firmware update for older hardware so it can properly interact with newer service features and hardware.
#7 Write and verify the user documentation and self-service support information.
#8 QA hardware.
#9 Verify supply and delivery dates.
There's probably a few things I'm missing, but ya get the point. There's a lot going on besides manufacturing, stick it in a box, and ship it to a store.
