As someone who backed the original project, I can tell you from experience - it was simply a terrible product.
I was very tempted to back the project. The project got a lot of press and when you see people backing it for millions of dollars, you believe there is success.
The moral of the story is that tech takes millions of dollars to back up research and to keep it going. Just think of Commodore.
I backed the $9 computer so I'm expecting a different story.
