As for imau, what makes you think it's a SCAM, we all know is an IRCAM
patience is a virtue.
Edit: after all we didn't know anything about this camera 2 months back, they just announced it at the end of September so it's been really just 2 weeks.
SCAM = Seek CAMera.
Also a quote from a guy on Facebook:
We'll see if they actually end up shipping anything. In the last week, as far as I can tell, there have only been two Youtube videos showing the camera - one unboxing (and not powering it up) and one showing 3D printing.
Seek's remarkable lack of communication since launch is extremely worrisome. I placed my order on 9/26, and my confirmation email stated, "we are currently experiencing a 5-7 business delay in the shipment of your order." Well, something like a week went by and then Seek announced that they were waiting for the Android app to go live before they shipping. Judging by the community reaction, this was a big surprise and was pretty upsetting to a lot of people.
Well, here we are, now 18 days since my order, 11 days since the app was released in the Play Store. No matter how you slice it, Seek is very late in shipping their product, and is not communicating with its customers. This whole thing is looking more and more like a scam everyday, or at least a horribly mismanaged company. Either way, if I don't hear *something* from them today to address all of this, I'll be calling my bank to ensure I don't lose $214.93.
And Mike: <1000 installs are curiosity and 10 reviews are employees.
Another possibility is they're caught in the backlog of stuff coming out of China - apparently they fired 500 corrupt customs officials & everything is taking a long time to get out of the country
I'm in the 600s and getting impatient.
How do you know you are 600's-maybe they simply assigned random unique numbers in the unknown range
Maybe, Seek Thermal team is waiting for... open source version of software compatible with this
SCAM and Linux drivers
Order page is now showing :
Product is currently on back order.Product is being shipped as quickly as possible
for Android
and
Product is currently on back order. It should begin shipping within the next several weeks.
For iPhone.
My guess is they initially did 500 of each, and the Apple ones are waiting for App store approval.

I was trying to install the software, it just says my device isn't supported.
And I don't think I'm going to order one of these before I see real people using it and all the kinks and bugs have been fixed. Maybe the next generation or cheap thermal imagers has come out and hopefully they would be even cheaper since it would be a toy.
My device wasn't supported so I side loaded it, but since it supports my wife's phone then I installed it again in there. So I guess that counts for 2 installs for one device. But then I did share it so I don't know how much the install base reflects the actual purchases.

I don't know if side-loading would show up in Play store stats.
The lack of communication is inexcusable. Even if they have to manually do an export of their customers to use a service. Sending emails to a mass of people is easy and common.

Well I had to download it so I use bluestacks you always have to be connected to the store to get the apk anyways. I guess I could have rooted my wife's phone but meh, bluestacks was easier.
Two new posts showed up on their blog:
IMHO a good way to calm down people who started to doubt that they will ever receive the module.
Sadly there are some bad news for us outside the USA:
