        Hey Guys I am still on your side and I donated 100 dollars but I gotta say I donated money to a teenage chinese guy who had to invent original tech and get it provisionally patented and copyrighted and write custom software for both the android and iOS clients as well as all the custom micro code in his micro controller. He beat the big guys to market with an ad hoc network drive via USB and because he is small it is a much more free system no corporate agendas in his tech solution. I do hope you guys can supply some fulfillment dates soon because it is time to be be able to lay out a full schedule that includes a delivery date in the next 6 months or I am wondering what you all are doing? Do not worry I will not be a public complainer again and as I say I am still on your side but having founded then sold two small companies or their products before I was out of my twenties both of which required coding manufacturing and packaging in the era before the internet was so darn convenient for such things and watching the performance of a lone chinese teenager to come up with a great idea and get it into my hands in mere months, I wanted you to know that taking more than 15 months from receiving funds to delivery an plastic/ durable material iPad holder is not even vaguely an unreasonable expectation. I do hope you all keep that in mind. I wish you all the luck in the world and I am pulling for you all but I really think that you need an aggressive project schedule to be posted pretty soon. If you doubt my story, check out Daniel Chin on kick starter another person I funded and whose product has been in my hand for weeks now. -- here is to wishing you some success, Rob

        well I had a double negative in there -- you have had 7 months to lay out something concrete and in my mind time is up or there needs to be some serious explanations as to why not much has happened that has resulted in tangible milestones. Or to put it in a nicer way tangible milestones that are not still very very preliminary. -- again last time I will express any possibly critical concerns on the public forum unless i feel you all are beyond the limit of any form or honest business, but I would like you to know its time to produce a concrete plan with concrete deliverable dates, including the most important one when you will start shipping. Again good luck and much success. Rob
