Yep, the market is $12 million. Good luck running a successful phone manufacturing company with that bottomless expanse of willing customers. ;)
Perhaps the sarcasm missed me, but you know people willing to commit money a year in advance on a crowd funding website is only a tiny portion of the entire market, right?
Probably not. People who make comments like that have obviously never seriously considered a startup, much less actually done one, or even for that matter read anything on Lean Startups and customer validation.
