It could turn out to be a nice device. Personally I'd be more interested at 6.8", but I wouldn't be surprised if 6" is more popular in general. Not really seeing what makes it "Ultimate" though.
It does seem more like a group by situation, like the Baen Bar group buy of the Cybook Gen 3 back in the day, than a more traditional crowdfunding thing like
The Earl. Of course so far The Earl situation hasn't turned out all that well.
Anyway, if there are enough people interested in this device to get them to at least their minimum $$$ goal then more power to them. I hope they have tech & development support in place (they're already making OS update promises) Maybe it's some kind of stock Netronics firmware?
