Looks like they are already having a bunch of people thinking it is not going to deliver (the initial 61 units were supposed to ship back in August and they still have not received word on when it will actually begin shipping so a lot of the backers are asking for refunds etc. and not getting anything but a contact from their attorney if they want a refund - and it looks like they have moved the delivery date back a year ! - ( Not positive since most of the updates a for backers only but from the comments it would seem they are not delivering and are delaying delivery dates by a year or more and still taking orders (even though they collected over $1,000,000 on a $90,000 initial goal ) and have not delivered a single unit yet.

Yeah that doesn't sound too promising. Do Kickstarters ever end well?

It seems to have worked out pretty well for the 6 people that designed this one ! ( Though a million dollars doesn't last that long these days ! :laugh2: )
