While looking more into the Kickstarter requirements the GEN1 prototype does need to exist first before we could qualify to create a project. Keeping it to a small number of units I think will be very beneficial as it will be very technical at first. John if things go well with the testing of the 3358, do you have any time estimates on the first order being placed? Are we looking at weeks or months? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dustinsterk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19649 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
