Batch Two In Production

We've been hard at work over the last few weeks and have lots of exciting news! Over the last 2-3 weeks, batch 1 was delivered to the first round of backers, several weeks ahead of schedule. We did identify a factory programming issue affecting 3-4% of the flippydrives with affected users given a replacement, and we now have better coverage to ensure it doesn't happen going forward. Since the campaign closed, we've been busy securing components and placing orders for batch 2 and beyond. We're happy to report that we've secured all our long lead electrical components, with only one straggler now on the way to the assembler. Read the full update.
