This project has quite some history

If I remember correctly it got phased out of a Nokia development and the developers still wanted the project to succeed after Nokia stopped the development.
So they made their own company and had done tries with crowdfunding and their own devices, and after some time they settled for licensing.

But sadly they got quite silent. I kinda celebrate every life sign from them, because I really like their concept

(Not sure about the history after all that time, so take that with a grain of salt)

Edit: oh, the article already talks about that… So my comment is mostly redundancy…
