60% Funding for jaja

Jon Atherton — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 07:36:14 +0000

A few blogs have run some stories about jaja now and I’m getting a few interview requests. This has helped push us to 60% funding from 30% funding in just a few days!

I have finished building some of the prototypes with electronics so will demo that as soon as I get an app working in the next day or so. Thanks to our backers it looks like we’ll reach our goal.

50% Funding for jaja

Jon Atherton — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:08:48 +0000

After a big boost yesterday we’re heading more swiftly to our goal!

We’ve hit 50% funding and still have 24 days to go – looks like we might get there, but still need your help, visit Kickstarter now and get a jaja for close to 1/2 retail price.

The worlds first and only pressure sensitive stylus you can use on an airplane – Bluetooth and wifi can’t be used in airplane mode – high frequency sound can, and due to our noise canceling algorithms and sequences the jaja can be used anywhere.

Self Manufacturing

I totally agree with this venturebeat article, and home based manufacturing is going to contribute to this movement.

3D printing is where printers were in the 80′s with dot matrix! Moores law will apply, and I’d expect home manufacturing (or at least very local) for many products to be available in the next 10-15 years. I’m buying one of these Replicators to get our family started!
