    I feel that pain, but probably not to the same degree. I’ve backed over 300 campaigns on Kickstarter and Gamefound. I’ve had around 8 that didn’t fulfill and didn’t give a refund – somewhere in the vicinity of $500-800 worth overall. It’s maddening when it feels like our money was either stolen or at best, wasted.

      True, i kinda only ordered it to support mobile Linux development, however, by now I think there would have been much better places to do this than this company.

        I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that – especially for a technology we’d all like to see in that space to provide good competition to the main two. Thanks for your efforts to push that forward!
