We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

A little press

Update #2 · Apr 26, 2012 · comment

 Good news, Can Supporters!

One of our latest backers just alerted us here at Can Phone HQ that we were mentioned on NPR.  See it here: http://www.npr.org/2012/04/26/151351550/what-we-have-here-a-failure-to-communicate 

There should be more riveting Can Phone coverage in the near future.  We've meet with a few people in the media, so stay tuned for details!  These stories are great for our project, of course, and will hopefully kick us to our funding goal.

As always, thanks again for your support, and we look forward to shipping your Can in the future.

Over and Out,

Monkey Wrench Design
