Well that mostly depends on the size of the tablet / touch screen.

Exactly, You CAN NOT get burned with this campaign, it has double $ back
warranty.
-The first $ back is if it doesn't reach the goal since it's all or nothing.
-The second $ back is that can try the device for almost a month and if you
don't like it, you can return it for a full refund:

Hmm, am not understanding the new perks added:
$625 (1250 available)$675 (1250 available)$725 (1250 available)
They're all the same so am kinda confused. I think we need more creativity and
"differentiation".
More perk ideas / niches:
- T-shirts! Limited time EDGE, Saucy, etc.!!
- 1 to 2 year 10

Clearly this is Canonical's first crowdfunding attempt and they lacked the

They already let the MORALE and interest died.
