Smart Dock Lumawake Begins Pre-Orders Today
Lumawake, an innovative iPhone dock designed to work with both 30-pin and lightning dock connectors, today kicks off its own pre-orders in a self-run crowdfunding attempt to bring its product to market. The team faced rejection from Kickstarter just one short week ago, after that crowdfunding platform changed its hardware project rules to minimize their role in the overall platform mix. Now it’s back, and the team tells me they’re confident that going it alone in the manner of App.net and Lockitron will help make sure that Lumawake makes it to market.

- antr 14y agoGood luck to the Lumawake team, but I think the recent Elevation Dock production-delivery fiasco is not going to help with this one.
- lumawake 14y agothanks antr, we feel the traditional crowdfunding model is broken. Taking funds upfront and leaving the backers to float delays isn't the right way to engage your consumer. At Lumawake we will not be processing pre-orders until the product ships.

- shaaaaawn 14y agoThanks Mike! Appreciate it. Just sent the developer a note. The site was put together at the 11th hour after kickstarter rejected the application
