MC2 Post 1771 The "Crowd" That Has Money to Invest IS Doing It

Taking stock of 2013′s crowdfunded

Linux devices

What’s the latest status on all those cool embedded Linux and Android Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects of 2013? Most are moving forward, but delays are a common problem.

Crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have emerged over the last two years as a prime launch path for embedded Linux and Android devices. Sometimes it’s hard to decide when to cover these products: when they first launch, or only when they’ve reach their funding goals?

Here at LinuxGizmos, we’ve done a bit of everything, including covering products before they’ve entered funding, or waiting to see if a product actually emerges. The following blurbs provide the latest updates on every product we’ve covered that went through a Kickstarter or Indiegogo funding round in 2013.
