@pfista Why'd you decide to make a keyboard-less keyboard? Did you set out to make that?

@thetylerhayes @pfista Yes, we started with typing, and have since broadened our scope. We we're really frustrated with typing on tiny onscreen keyboards. Tired of seeing "sent from my iphone" at the bottom of emails as an excuse for brevity and typos. As computers get smaller input gets harder. Productivity goes out the window - and that's unacceptable. We set out to build a fundamentally new way of interacting with technology that makes working with smartphones, and even virtual/augmented reality devices, truly productive.

@pfista A little inside baseball on the kickstarter thing - but how did you get your first day pop? Did you buid an email list of people to notify on the first day? Have press embargoes until now?

@scorinth @pfista Exactly right! We grew our mailing list over the last year and had embargoes as well!

@pfista Pretty cool device, but I think one thing we all want to know is..... can I play Rad Racer on it?
