Apologies if pea roast (quick search revealed nothing) - anyone getting one? I think I'll wait until it's in mass production and going for £30. Hopefully they also do one with a full size keyboard.
Looks like they'll smash the crowd-funding target anyway:

Wut, £100? So, a £10 device-on-a-chip with a 1000% markup?
I'm pretty sure that if I were a software rights holder, I'd tell them to fuck off their chaaaridy donation and pay me monies. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

IIRC it was old uncle Clive Sinclair's modus operandi to advertise a product, get people to pre-order and then use the funds to actually develop the thing. The end product that eventually emerged would bear a similarity to that originally woolly advertised offering. ____________________ ...and the whirlwind is in the thorn trees, it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks...

It was an electric recumbent bike (with a daft fairing) - he also made the Zike (electric push-bike conversion) - electric bikes are now massive in Europe - and becoming popular in the UK - he definitely had the right idea, just way too early and marketed at the wrong people. ____________________ '12 NC700S & '12 CB600F Hornet [Stolen by some dickless twat] Suzuki GT500 shed |

The last post was made 2 years, 269 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
