I'm impressed that they made it as far as they have. $612k puts them in the top tier of all Kickstarter projects, but unfortunately they look to have set their goal too high. Maybe they can pull a Clang and raise a ton of money in the last 24 hours, but I'd be surprised to see that happen. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

I think they will succeed.

They're selling something that's really cool and a lot of people want to see succeed, but for which there aren't any software applications to take advantage of yet.

That's the type of project where a lot of people could donate at the end so that it succeeds. Opposed to say, a game, where there's a ton at the beginning and than it slowly trails off.

I think they'll make it easily, sort of like what happened to Dalton Caldwell's App.net ... they got a ton of support in the last 12-24 hours.

Maybe this is cynical, but there seems to be little reason for them to not borrow enough from friends and family to collect from Kickstarter, and pay them back immediately after. Unless the gifts are ridiculously expensive?
