The skeptic in me is a little suspicious, this sounds too good to be true. I've already been burned out from other crowdfunded projects where the company just dissapeared or simply couldn't deliver anything before running out of money. Like the Pandora.

Nowadays I only back projects from companies that have successfully released something before, so this will be a wait and see. If they can deliver I may buy one when it's released.

Which, ironically, is the opposite of what kickstarter was meant for.
