    There has been so many people and companies that tried to solve this problem and this is really a great advancement. I have one concern though. Because the spring tension is so strong, I am wondering if it will damage the cord over time. Have you tested a headphone with your the device several thousand times?

    Thank you everyone for your encouragement and support!

    We have put together a website that has all the content that we had prepared for our Kickstarter page, and I'm excited to share that with you today.  The website is justgosmart.com.

    We are also preparing Amazon product pages so that you can actually preorder the 300 Series stylus which will ship in June. As promised, we will send all of you, our Kickstarter backers, an Amazon coupon code that will give you a two-for-one offer at the discounted Kickstarter price. This is a special, limited-time thank-you for everyone who has supported this project and gotten us to the point where we can release the Stylus for public sale.

    For me, the whole process of developing this product and its accompanying marketing message was a great learning experience, and I really look forward to hearing your comments in comparing the latest marketing efforts with the previous.  You will be able to give us feedback suggestions and contact us through Facebook.com/justgosmart, and Twitter.com/justgosmart, as well as email from the justgosmart.com website.

    Finally, people need to know about this product so please please share this with your friends and colleagues that have iPads or other tablets!

    Sorry guys, another twist and emotional drama on Kickstarter. The project was declined. I got the email just as I was headed to Korea and now I am putting together an appeal. I believe it was because I didn't make it clear what the funding was for so hopefully, they'll reconsider soon.

    Oops, Kickstarter Project Process Changed...

    Last time we had to get approval to put together a project, and this time I was able to start creating the project immediately so I didn't think much about it.

    I just learned that now they review the project after you complete putting the project together. It has been submitted to Kickstarter, but I don't know exactly when they will get to it.  It took a couple of days before.

    As soon as I hear back from them, I will let you know and send you the link to the new project.  Sorry about the delay. 

    Anxiously waiting.

        Do they communicate with you in real time or do you have to submit it all over again?

    It might be possible to have both. The Zeppelin body design will be ready to ship quickly, so I could ship units before the Kickstarter project closes. I am setting the funding amount down to $2500 so I hope reaching the goal shouldn't be a problem.

    Countdown to Relaunch

    Dear Zeppelin backers!

    The day has finally come to relaunch the Stylus at 6 PM PT this Thursday, April 26.

    I have set aside a special limited reward of two styluses for the price of one at the suggested retail price to thank those that have encouraged me to get to this point. This is a limited quantity award and is available to anyone, but since you'll know the launch date and time you can get a jump on them if you want.

    It took a lot of hard work, but all the production and quality issues seem to be addressed, and we will be able to ship 1000 units soon after the project is funded.

    Not having a PR firm or a large network of past customers to draw upon, I still need your support to let people know about this great tool that will make your iPad so much more useful.

    If you are a reviewer or have a large audience that you can tap into, please let me know and I can potentially get you a stylus to review.

    Thanks,

    Jae
