NY Kickstarter Panel + First Samples
A quick update today:
I will be joining some other successful Kickstarters for a panel discussion at Columbia Business School in NYC tonight. If you'd like to join, follow the link below. The open bar starts at 6:00.
In a twist of fate, I should be receiving the first batch of samples from the manufacturer today and will endeavor to have them on hand tonight at the talk. You'll be able to try them out after the discussion during the networking portion. For those too far away, below are some pictures taken by the manufacturer before being shipped off. Things are steadily moving forward, with packaging design just around the corner.
For those asking about the surveys: I am holding off until I know the full range of options available. If at all possible I want to address the iPhone 5 problem equitably and without bruised customers or wallets. Until I know the options I can provide, I don't' want to jump the gun.
Thank you all again for the support,
Bill

Creator Chris S on August 20, 2012
When will you send the surveys? And update letting people know what's going on (as opposed to forcing us to check the comments) would be better appreciated.
Creator Bill May on August 17, 2012
There will be a chance, yes. Probably on the survey.
Creator Obatola Seward on August 17, 2012
is there a possibility to switch from ANDROID cord to an IPHONE? As I recently switched phones and have no use for the android one?
Creator Björn Lampe on August 12, 2012
keeping your customers up to date is a waste of time then? Hmmm, interesting way to look at the people who made this possible for you. But let the product do the talking.
Creator Rajdeep on August 8, 2012
Glad to hear from you. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to receiving my Limb.al for the long drives back and fourth from University.
Creator Bill May on August 8, 2012
I am working diligently to get the manufacturing samples up to snuff and provide better options for everyone. I do apologize for the lack of updates, but spending time interfacing with customers can bog down production timelines.
As a single owner/executor of the Limb.al, I have to make sure every ounce of time is put towards something useful, like hitting the shipping date I promised. Please have patience, I swear it will be worth it.
Creator Jakob Hultman on August 8, 2012
Not an update for over a month...
Creator Bernd Mitterhauser on August 7, 2012
Any news about shipping date?
Creator Steve on August 7, 2012
Wow... no updates for over a month, huh? =o\
Creator Juan Carlos Santana on August 2, 2012
It would be better if you ignore the Iphone 5 for know since it isnt even out yet and just focus on the 30pin iphone connection that all iphone owners currently have and most likely will still have since not every one is buying iphone 5 or atlist not as soon as its release if it is actiually released this year... hopping to have my cable soon :)
Creator Rajdeep on August 1, 2012
Any idea when the surveys will come out?
Creator Yong Yoong Ping on August 1, 2012
Is there more updates on iphone 5's new connector?
Creator cnlson on July 31, 2012
can the micro usb still ship soon?
for the iphone i believe there will be an adapter from microusb to iphone as required in europe
Creator Jevan Goh on July 30, 2012
agree. whats the update on this??
Creator Kevin Kwok on July 28, 2012
I hope I get this soon.... taking forever and a day!
Creator Jason Wyn on July 26, 2012
With the rumours of the new iPhone 5 having a different connector will their be some sort of adapter available?
Creator Obatola Seward on July 19, 2012
Why wait with the android people? that's just a waste
Creator Kevin Kwok on July 19, 2012
Are we any closer? Can't wait to get mines...! I wonder if it will support my new nexus 7...
Creator Stephen Holinaty on July 16, 2012
@Jannick Schuster: did you pick the "no reward" level when placing your pledge? this oftentimes messes people up as you have to actually select a reward level before you can get a reward.
Creator Jannick schuster on July 10, 2012
Um.... i have paid 40 $ and kickstarter seems to have ruined my pledge so that i get nothing but payed 40$? and i can see that they have been taken from my bank account? what can i do to get what i pledged for!?
Creator Bill May on July 9, 2012
They are being manufactured together in a single batch. There is no delay being made in production, and there won't be any added time because of the iPhone 5 issue. I am, however, refraining from the surveys at this time since that issue looms large.
Creator Nathan Church on July 8, 2012
Agree...why wait for the Android cables?
Creator Kyle Selby on July 6, 2012
Just wondering if there is anyway that you can send out the Android cables earlier than the iPhone ones since the iPhone 5 wait doesn't affect Android users. Is this possible? Thanks, they look great, can't wait!
Creator Zeital on July 5, 2012
just wanted to drop a quick thanks to you because you are looking into a iPhone5 option. it was a bit of a worry as i would be upgrading as soon as that came out. so thanks for holding off to see what happens with that.
