When was the last time you really saw *any* piece of software that was really "done"? It's an oxymoron. There will always be bugs, there will always be new features, in any piece of software that has sufficient usage and development. Thus there is never a real endpoint, only milestones that become marketing releases. I agree with Puneet - you just have to figure out whether the amount being charged is worth it to you. If it's not, then perhaps Apple screwed up the price point relative to your situation. But that doesn't mean they didn't set it correctly for the majority of users. > Don't get me wrong.
