How was the watch anyway?

I'm using mine on iOS. It's pretty darn good in terms of build quality, although the functionality is a little limited at the moment - text messages, music control, addressing phone calls, and switchable watchfaces are most of what it does at the moment. Waiting for the extensibility to get grafted onboard.

A local knockoff of the NoPhone (and predecessors) - this time, it's wood!

Well, I'm affected by this one:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/triggertrap/triggertrap-redsnap-modular-camera-trigger/posts/1144189

Just wanted to add some details to that late night link:

quote:

Most importantly, that the manufacturing phase of Triggertrap Ada was going to be way more expensive than we expected. In fact, by the time all was said and done, Ada was going to cost three times more to create than we had planned for when we kicked off the project.
In itself, that’s bad enough, but we also spent a lot more money than we had hoped to get to this point. In fact, we spent over five times more on bringing Triggertrap Ada to market than we had budgeted for.
Triggertrap’s CEO wrote more in depth about the impacts of how all of this happened earlier today, but the short version is that we can’t afford to put Triggertrap Ada into production. There isn’t enough money left from the Kickstarter project to begin the large-scale manufacturing.


They are offering options for no refund, 20% to charity, 20% back, or 50% in store credit, which is a small selection of their old gen product.

They had delivered before, but joke's still on me, and I'm out a bit of cash.

What was their name originally? It seems that both it and the linked article go out of their way to avoid the old name, but I'm really curious who and why threatened to sue them.

I believe it was the Triggertrap RedSnap or similar, and then the Red Camera manufacturer people went after them.
