Criminal? Vaporware?

I'm not so certain. They have been delivering on the 13.3" device offered in their Indiegogo campaign albeit quite slowly and not without mishaps. And I imagine that they will deliver on this new 6.8" device offered on Kickstarter should they meet their target and it looks like they will seeing as how they are already 33% there.

Unethical or inept might be more suitable adjectives to describe them. They made a number of promises on their 13.3" campaign which they have yet to deliver on and may well be unable to do so such as promising to upgrade the firmware to Android 5 and supplying the source code for the device. They also allowed backers to think that there was a USB host controller in the device despite knowing for more than 10 months that there wasn't and that there would be no way to hook up an external keyboard to the device.

And for this newest campaign, they have said that the shipping fee to Holland includes taxes and duties. I wonder if that is possible. Whenever I have ordered an item from overseas, the shipper has always made very clear in advance that any import taxes and duties are my responsibility.

Yes, this includes taxes and duties.

Shipping to Holland is very expensive: CA 94 dollar. Does it include tax or duties?
