Yes, it's available worldwide. I backed the kickstarter in January and got mine in July. I think they have now caught up with the backlog and are available at retail. I still have not received my peripherals yet, though -- nobody has. But the company is doing OK and discussing a 2nd model. They plan to update Android but so far there's only been one update. It's currently on Android 7.1. I'm hoping for 8 with Project Treble. The retro angle is that it's a licensed successor model to the late-1990s Psion Series 5 and 5MX. It has the same keyboard, licensed from Psion. The modern machine is thinner and does not have a removable battery (sadly). It also runs Debian Linux and Jolla Sailfish. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
