I realize this might be a joke but is that even possible to do considering the eink display they used has a NDA on it and they couldn’t even discuss the code? Also the $1500 price tag on top of the NDA was absolutely shocking to me.
Yeh having read a bit more detail on their site you might be right. I think there is nothing more frustrating then companies that make it hard for you to give them your money.
My guess is that these are effectively handmade prototype units, made almost at/below cost, to allow companies to experiment with limited runs and determine business viability, which would leave the possibility of large orders/contracts, whereas consumers are much less predictable and reliable.
