    Oh dear, that is rather silly of them.. but I guess it would bring the price down (and simplify development).

    Sure, but then you usually have a problem finding a place to insert the cable to get power afterwards.


    Maybe we should just abort, and buy this one instead: http://www.unitedkeys.com/tech/index.html



    PS: Cander, hope you noticed that the price is not announced yet on the Optimus..

    I am spotting sarcasm in his post because of the sarcasm he got in the comments in the blog entry the day before.

    He may want to learn what sarcasm means if he is trying to be sarcastic. Reporting false information isn't sarcasm.

    DO NOT SEND THEM A PENNY! If they even had a semi functional prototype, or at least a good blueprint, they would not need preorder money. The Venture Capital flowing in to them would be coming out of their ears. These guys are either A: Retards who drew a cool picture of a keyboard in Photoshop but have no engineering skill, or B: Scam Artists.

    Again, Do not send them a penny! This thing has been out there for how long now?

    You could ask the same question of the company that was 'creating' The Phantom game console.

    lets see 103 preorders at 1200 bucks. At $123,600 dollars, I'd gladly fork that cash over if they could prove they had a snowballs chance in hell to pull off producing that product and that was all they needed to get it to market. Hell I'd drop a lot more it if it would get the original concept product out. Don't you think the big baller VC guys have checked these jokers out already? I smell BS coming from those guys and I suspect everyone else has as well.
