no actual prototype is presented clearly - only foggy pictures and CG
it seems that there is no final prototype
it is almost 100% sure that there is no final product- We are actually working and improve final version. Pictures on campaign is real, but slightly modified in photoshop. If you want real working prototype, check this old video -
funding target is very low for technical device
- We are counted target lot of time and it's ok. We have price quotations for all components and forms.
delivery date is very early - no way they can achieve that if there is no final product yet
- Yes, delivery date is very early, because we are very handy
team seems to be young group of CG designers, almost no engineers
- Yes, we are young, but, on which planet is that problem? (and Dusan Zelenik - Business Development, he is Ing. and PhD.)
additional features are strange
pledge levels indicate few versions, one with inductive charging -> risky
- Of course, you can choose version with inductive charging or not. It's not strange.
generall idea is flawed - have a massive weight on your wrist and connect your phone to it via few cm of wire? That is stupid.
80grams isn't massive weight, it's like normal watches...
And if you don't like capital idea - Portable solar external charger on your wrist, sorry, but it's your subjective opinion.
solar energy claims are very optimisticWe are now still working on increase the effectiveness of solar panels.
Right now we are dealing with a company that can supply us solar panels with 22% efficiency. (Now our product have 10% efficiency)
yess, "suicidaleggroll" write it right - there are two charging times
"Again, there are two times/rates being discussed on that page:
1) Recharging your PHONE BATTERY using the BRACELET'S BATTERY
2) Recharging the BRACELET'S BATTERY using SOLAR"
One could always contact the website's whos logos are on their page. Posting their logos and saying "the press already knows about it" but not linking to the stories is kind of dodgy.
Also I don't think Apple licenses their "Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad" logos for free.It's impossible create clickable link on kickstarter, but you can click on it in our website -
www.solarhug.com/press, and logos "Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad" isn't official, we want only show you option - choose between Apple lightning or Android MicroUSB cables
