I would not link smartphones and smartwatches in any meaningful way. Both words start with the same letters but so do aftershave and aftershock.

nice! i noticed you may have missorted my post, thus the lengthy follow up!

Sorry for OT!! Wuhuuuu Tablets or Refund! Great news :P

What about continuing that funny game then?

Also when using stuff like stretch Goals your responsebility increase further

Agree, it's not like we were giving money to some kid in his garage.

If a refund is offered I will happily donate it, but not to a company with shareholders looking to make a profit.

Seems like you didn't get my point why I said it....

They haven't payed the tablets, so there is nothing to investigate about those tablets if you ask me. (And also, it's China.... There are like almost no laws in China

)

Yes, that's exactly the issue - even though it might be perfectly legal to not ship anything to the campaign contributors, that still does not mean many of the ~10 000 contributors will not be angry and a lot of ill will won't be created.

You can see this quite often when big companies revert unpopular decisions - the stuff they tried to get away with is perfectly legal (they made sure of that) but that does not mean it won't make a lot of people (your customers) angry with a big potential backslash.

Also some people did preorder the tablets after the crowdfunding campaign ended, which is probably legally binding. I can actually see a scenario where the people who preordered might get their devices sooner (or at all :P) than the people who joined the crowdfunding campaign.

Yeah, sounds sensible. I would go for nr. 2 BTW.

I heard that there might be actually third option. Maybe blog post will tell more about this option.

Since they were delivered; let's hope so. But all around, this is way better news than I anticipated. Just hope that those that had interest have not and will spread the word. That's probably the only way they will succeed.

Naysayers sans viable options and/or platforms will continue to exist but I tend to ignore them unless they have something worthwhile to say other than vitriol.

Funding was perhaps a big issue. Now let's see how they tackle morale and the path forward.
