Agree! That's why I would warmly suggest mobile devices producers to
include a pluggable nixie-tubes display like this:

showing a count-down during boot! I believe that would be a nice form
of visual feedback to the users, and given the current size of
"mobile" devices, I am sure the users wouldn't mind carrying an
additional half a kilogram for having such a nice feature ;)
