Some good news: Funds has arrived this morning. Michael have started reaching out different suppliers, and some of them has already come back.
The first batch of production will be 1000 units (really small but still manageable...) a detailed timeline is scheduled to publish tomorrow.

Hopefully more backs will join the campaign otherwise as 1000 batch isn't a healthy business model to any one...

Are you going to send out any units to review websites? I would suggest also to send one to the Plasma KDE guys. Later when you get time & if you choose to.

570 tablets is all that's pledged right now? To be honest, that dampens my spirits in regards to the upcoming QWERTY phone project a bit.
Not because I want it fail, nothing of the sort. But for something that a lot of people now have a chance to purchase, the orders seem to go against the forum advertised enthusiasm. The phone project has a lot of buzz but mostly around the types of keyboards (read: fragmentation of audience due to being unlikely to want QWERTY, but want AZERTY, QWERTZ, or some other variation within variation)...
How can the forum help spread the word, get more people hooked or find an audience that's more likely to purchase?
For the tablet and for the phone.

Anyone worked in this industry would know the cost of building a modern Qualcomm phone, and we are adding a slider keyboard, the cost is enormous.
But nonetheless I will continue the effort for the keyboard device. If we miss the opportunity now, we might not have a chance anymore to try it. The same with this tablet, if we don't try now we will miss it forever.
Hopefully with the Keyboard device being modern on specs, and by the time less people will hold back because of spam concern, we can make some difference. (I 100% agree we need to achieve more audience rather than request varients.) If it's 1000 units project nothing will come out anymore...

If you google Youyota, there are only pro-linux and some tiny news outlets that picked up the Juli crowdfunding announcement.
Else is Forum talk here and links to us on other linux forums.
I personally informed 10 german news sites that all picked up on the moto mod keyboard in june but they stood quiet on youyota campaign...
The best case for credebility would be shipped tablets popping up on twitter.
This could possibly get some viral attention or even convince the major news outlets to bite and spin a revival story.
Another thing, i would gladly donate for a full package and t-shirt now if it is possible to bypass indigogo via direkt payment to you or michael via iban or paypal.
Maybe there are more people like me that would gladly join if not for indigogo but on a more personal level? Do indigogos terms allow you to offer the product on your own channel?
