@mlekar it's hardware, releasing everything before they've even had a chance to produce it themselves would be idiotic

they're a business

well I don't think that anyone should market something as open source if it is not at the moment. Seems dishonest. Also what is the cause of secrecy there? It's just a rpi 5 with off the shelf display, battery and keyboard in a molded case.

@mlekar it's not dishonest in any way if that's what they will do, you're arguing at something when they haven't yet done anything at all wrong, just chill jeez

I dont want to be a dick, I have burned myself multiple times on various kickstarter projects and this one in particular rises just enough red flags for me to be vary about the hype, however I would love to be wrong - especially about this one.
