Maybe I don't understand the situation well, but seriously, 1350EUR? Considering the cost of these devices, that's nothing. I'm surprised that anyone here is bothered by it. Recouping costs is reasonable.
I'd be happy to donate something if the project made an effort to address the concerns here, though I am certain that they have better things to do.

I would like to see a donation link on their homepage with a little lower number on it. I'll throw away ten bucks on almost anything, even a nice beer, but $25 is hard to justify. Their total will go to $170 the instant they make a ten dollar donation available.

Only got 210 in donations so the 1350 target hasnt been met
Does this mean that the download links will not be sent out either or does it mean it will become free as such when the 1350 target is met or the download links will only go out once the target is met
It is a little unclear to me

I'm guessing the donations and the payments for the private beta are different things?
EDIT
There's been an update on the website
"NeoPwn v2 Beta Release Day!
We're still on schedule for the (private) Beta release. Expect mail in your inboxes this evening, about 22:00 (PDT). Quality bug reports welcome; n00betry is automatically /dev/null'd."
