      42 people have backed this 'project' in the past 24 hours (this time last night it was 299). What Vak is doing is keeping quiet and hoping that the backers that don't read the comments will support him. Looks like he might get away with it.

      Clearly this project is using the uPlay Z3 as a prototype for their videos. I don't think this would be a violation of kickstarter t&c. However, the creator claims this is not the Z3, and implies it is not a derivative. So, questions are:
      1) Who funds the hardware design team?
      2) Why was mbed shown as the prototyping platform, how does this relate to the production SoC?
      3) Who owns the patents, and which are published (i.e. public, on uspto.gov)
      4) How much of the project funding comes from kickstarter, who pays the rest? If this were a corporate project in disguise, it might be slightly more credible.
      Basically, we are asking for some reasons to believe that this is a genuine product, and not just a marketing exercise for a cheap knock-off copy of someone else's design - it could be that there is a risk for customs to confiscate these which would be a shame...

      I love to build things for people to use. That being said...ideas are good but how do you plan to build it, get it implemented, and then execute it? If you need help building it, let me know. I've got a great team that can help.

      ...urgh...

      Ammm... By the way,
      If a hacker wrote that message, and then posted it all over - including in the update section, why don't you put a new update that explains exactly that?
      You can't expect anyone to believe that it was posted by a hacker - and yet you leave it as a legit update...

      Either KS really really screwed up on their clearance steps to grant permission to post a project or it was just sheer negligence on their part overlooking blatant lies/details in the project description..
      For a project which has been well active over a week now, this is something they really need to look into, even more carefully and rethink how they accept fakes or projects without any possibility of a reality. 'Simple logic already says that this description of Rock doesn't make sense' - So Kickstarter, how did this description of @Vakster's Rock Smartwatch and his shoddy details go past the brains at your office??
      True disappointment,.. first towards Vakster and his team for handling things the way they did and second towards Kickstarter to have this infomercial (aka what a child could write) get past their screening process.

      And as for you the Vakster/Vak :
      Account hacking-reposting-spamming... i see success for someone of this caliber lurking deep down in a cavern... When you do plan to (which i dont believe you will, if you do things this way) launch another project either here or by yourself, you have some valuable lessons to learn from the comments here... It was not a downpour gone bad for you, it was just bad smelly s*** hitting the fan and spewing all over the plans... (which could have been a bit cleaner btw).
