quote:In December 2013, we wrote about the crowdfunding campaign for this teensy trinket that promises to zap your smartphone notifications onto a ring with a tiny, curved LED display. At that time, despite the Indian startup not having a working prototype (its demo video and promo images used computer-generated visuals), it was promising delivery to early buyers by April [2014]. no prototype, promising to ship in 4 months, got $300,000. sounds about right

As someone who wears hearing aids I can tell you there are in fact some pretty cool things about them. A mute button for my ears is great as is the ability to listen to music and make phone calls without wires of any kind nor a dorky Bluetooth thing hanging off my ear. Downside is that to do that stuff it actually does need a control box on a necklace (the actual Bluetooth device & microphone - whose necklace doubles as an antenna loop to transmit the audio the hearing aids.)

quote:Update: Although the announcement of the poll results clearly reads that PayPal backers would not be receiving the exclusive rewards "as originally promised," an earlier post indicated that the noted Kickstarter-only items would only be available to Kickstarter backers from the get-go. We've removed reference to this contradiction above.
