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

What's next?

Update #3 · Mar 21, 2012 · comment

I know this post is way over-due, but I have finely gotten around to it.

Many of you have been asking "What's next?" Although our Kickstarter project failed, we  have been pursuing other sources of funding and other ideas. Some idea's have been unsuccessful, but others may just work..

We are currently writing our business plan, and building our social media presence. While the business plan is coming along smoothly, building our presence on Facebook and Twitter has been difficult. We are asking all you backers and non-backers alike, to take the time to click two buttons. Liking and following Aurkron on Facebook and Twitter will get you exclusive updates and photos not shared on this blog.

So to receive these exclusive updates and be the first to know about the development of the tablet, Like and Follow Aurkron.

Thanks to everyone who backed, and everyone who watched this project with interest.

Clearing up confusion. Adding new ideas.

Update #1 · Feb 5, 2012 · 1 comment

Dear all backers and non-backers alike,

We are only 6% funded, and with only 18 days to go, I feel the project isn't doing well, and requires an update.

First and foremost, we are developing our own operating system. It can run Mac, Windows, and Linux programs at the same time. We call it ULOS, for Unix Linux Operating System. Everything will be tablet optimized, and exclusive for this tablet.

Second of all, a word about the upgradability of the tablet. Nowadays, you can only upgrade the RAM on most laptops. This tablet will challenge that by allowing people to upgrade the CPU, hard drive, RAM, graphics unit, and the screen. We have designed a way to make upgrading these parts a breeze.

Thirdly, we have been receiving many questions about 4G/3G capability. If the units get cheaper, we will definitely add it.

Lastly, we need this product promoted. I we have contacted all of our friends, and have gotten few backers. We have also tried to contact Tech blogs, like Gizmodo, and have not gotten through to them. If any backers/non-backers could share this with their friends, we would both appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for reading, and I hope this update gets the project going again.
