Can somebody give an example of a complicated electronics Kickstarter project that has shipped successfully?
I don't mean to imply anything, I always enthusiastically back these things. I'm just curious. In one year of Kickstarter pledging history I've only received two T-shirts (for well over $1000 worth of "purchases"). Some pens I ordered a year ago are on their way now ;)
- waterlesscloud 14y agoCould you give examples of Kickstarters you've backed that never shipped? How far behind are they? Do you believe they ever will? My little project today is researching the Million Dollar Kickstarters, seeing how they're doing. The Elevation Dock has had some production issues, seems to have some QA issues. Has a few very vocal critics. But then anything of any size does. It looks like their main mistake has been lack of communication. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop/elevation-dock-the-best-dock-for-iphone/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop/elevation-dock-the-b...
- jhuckestein 14y agoCome to think of it most of them are in the last 6 months and aren't much delayed. There's Pen-Type A, Ubooly, Pebble, Remee, Blink/Steady, Hickies, Backpacks by MHM and the Bosavi Headlamp. The only one with a real delay is Pen-Type A.

I'd challenge defining this as complicated, you can more or less copy the Tegra 3 dev board and repackage it. Making sure the software (drivers, UI) are smooth will be much more challenging.
