I agreed with graeme that Steve Blank's book is a reference book that requires getting out of the building to validate ideas. I'm taking the lectures right now.
My stay there was a wonderful experience and the place was nice. I get energize by having people around working towards the same goal and that is very valuable to me.
I would hope Microsoft(M) would listen and eliminate some features. Even M is not about simplicity it can learn from others how to do it. Bravo, great work.
How are these sensors different from these ones on this site: http://www.monnit.com/products/ I think is the same amount of money and I can get them faster.
Monnit is our first OEM partner on the sensors, but our core focus in the sensor/control integration aspect. If you want to do your own low-level development for these specific sensors for a vertical solution, you could. We're providing a much broader solution and doing a lot of the software implementation work for you.
As for the ship date, Kickstarter is working hard to ensure that we give dates (that we are pushing to beat) that are realistic and do not slip like some projects have.
