Hrm, so the Kickstarter said this:
* We're aiming to ship Console OS Developer Release 1 within about 30 days of the Kickstarter’s conclusion.
* From there, we’ll use Kickstarter funds to build out support for the devices that you vote for.
* Our goal is to implement all of the features listed here over the next year
But then said this:
* We have most of Developer Release 1 done. It'll include a starter version of our user experience and should work on all 25 devices we listed in the initial supported device list.
* The Console OS Pro feature set is largely what funds will go toward (in addition to expanding device support, based largely on Kickstarter backer votes).
Nobody should have contributed to this; they never said why they needed the money or what it was for. It's ridiculous to read about them working 18 months in the shadows to get "near" developer release 1 but then promise to build out a feature set in 11 months (since they want a month to finish what they started).
19 months -> dev release 1
11 months -> undetermined device support (no formal voting!), + a big ass list of features.
I love Kick Starter, and I've received every single thing I've committed towards. But people have to be careful and pay attention to what they're getting into.
