No. You cancel the project if you want.
I do not want to cancel my pledge individually.
It may count towards MY individual profile. -

Update #14: GreenSimian is relaunching its SolMate project on Kickstarter tonight!
Dear backers and supporters,
We listened to your feedback and agreed that it is best to relaunch the project with better focus, a lower dollar target and more pictures of the most recent prototypes. Also, we were pleased to see how many people are interested in the iPhone 5 product, which we will build upon Apple's release at some point in 2012. With that, our new project will offer an iPhone 5 build too with a December 2012 delivery date. We also secured a few media outlets who will cover our project so it can really go the extra mile with a viral uptake (like Wired Magazine).
Check out this preview link of our new Kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1256361908/1416795756?token=4772c12e
Once we cancel the project, we will let everybody know how to get back in and pledge a pre-order.
Thanks again and talk soon,
Adam + Jamie

Connected as Adam Tal Benzion (640 friends)
GreenSimian was founded in 2010 by Jamie Wojcik, a gifted Texas Instruments engineer and Adam Benzion, a relentless ex-Microsoft marketer. Our exceptional industry track records are marked by a dedication to excellence, and by thinking outside the boxes and pushing the boundaries of our respective fields. We value innovation, technical excellence, and environmental sustainability. Our goal: Build a successful business that creates jobs in the U.S., manufactures high-quality products, and reduces our reliance on fossil fuels.
GreenSimian recently completed the development of SolCurve, a solar harvesting technology that combines hardware and software to extract unmatched electrical power from photovoltaic (PV) cells. With SolCurve ready to implement, GreenSimian is developing SolMate: an iPhone casing made of precision-cut aluminum with built-in SolCurve technology, a high-powered solar cell, an ultra-thin battery, and a proprietary iOS app. A compact, elegant, and highly-efficient portable power solution, SolMate will quickly charge iPhones with solar energy on the go, indoors and out -- in the car, at the coffee shop, on the beach.
Thank you for your interest and support. Your financial backing will enable GreenSimian to transform SolMate from an ambitious vision to a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly product.
Cheers,
Adam & Jamie
