Hi everyone! I'm a semiconductor design engineer from Cupertino, CA. I have worked on numerous chips that power the gadgets in your digital life. I fell in love with the Macbook Air but couldn't find a docking station for it. So I decided to design one by myself and have created the LandingZone.

        Great to finally get an update and on the surface it "appears" to be good news. I just implore you to stick to your next saturday deadline for the next one...you mentioned it twice and your word and sincerity hangs perilously on you doing this.

        Kitae, The fact you are experiencing great stress tells me you are taking your role very seriously. There are those of us out here that are still aligned with your vision and understand the complexity of getting products to market. Hang in there and continue to have faith in yourself. You have a brought us a solution to a real problem and I am still very excited to get my hands on your creation. Quality cant be rushed.

        Right now I would take an update to announce nothing new to update....if only to prove you still alive. Radio silence is not cool

        Hm, until now I was still considering to receive the dock. Now I am no longer optimistic. Please provide update, it looks like you are pulling our leg.

    David, Yes, that is the plan for both 11" and 13" models.

        Thanks for the update Kitae. Great news about the ATD. Good luck in your OEM partnership discussions.

        That is really excellent news. I'm so glad I pledged $1 to be able to offer my comment encouraging a simple inexpensive solution like that. Now if it turns out that it even works with the soon-to-be announced MBA-like 15" MBPro, I'll be eager to buy one, or I'll have to look forward to your next 15" model. Thank you so much for responding to the feedback (albeit after a whole lot of nudging).

        BTW, does anyone else think it's odd the screenshot of the speed test seems to show much faster write speed than read speed? I would've expected it to be the other way around.

        Can we please have another update....we are all hanging out here for more information. All very good to say "LandingZone is the ONLY docking station for the MacBook Air that works with the ATD"...but we aint seen jack in way of getting the docks so think we need to hold back on the promises and work on the first one..getting us a dock ;)

        Kitae, thanks for the update. It is dissappointing to hear the delay on such an exciting product, but we still believe in you. Hang in there!

        Keep going! LandingZone will eventually be a product that serves many laptop users, not just Macs. The product is so much more slick than the standard offerings from Dell, HP, Lenovo. Get over this hurdle and I'm sure your financial concerns will be dealt with soon!

    I am really sorry. I haven't take care of this. I have been so into the active issue of the project. I will take care of this today or tomorrow. I will let you know.

    Dear backers, I'm sorry I haven’t updated more frequently during the last few weeks. We have been working like crazy. There always seems to be one more thing that needs to get resolved; talk about life-consuming work! We are getting closer to the start of production. It's a lot of work getting there though. I hope to have a major update by the end of next week. Thank you all for your patience and support. Big thanks, Kitae
