Starting up a new project based on a cutting edge technology

I must say that my last post: It's proven: CPU and memory aren't limitations! Not any more! attracted a lot of attention! Thanks for all comments!

Generally from the comments I see that people tend to stay with once-learned tried-and-true technologies (it's called laziness!). I had a friend of mine who kept saying that every web-based system can be written in Servlets and JSPs... untill he tried Spring MVC and JSF. Of course he was true, you can write every web-based system using Servlets, but that would take you years not months, and right now, when the global economy is slowly getting out of the recession no one is willing to wait for the system for years. IT customers want their software to be ready ASAP so that they can take advantage of their competitors who fail to adapt to new environment.

BUT cutting edge technologies and frameworks introduce a huge risk and no one can deny it!

Partially as a response to those comments I decided to write this post. It happens that my current project is based on a cutting edge mobile technology.
