Anyone remember that thing teksyndicate did with the retina display on an arm? Well this is a lot like that. Except running on an ATMEL chip and open source. (like everything on kickstarter it seems haha) I thought it was cool. just wanted to share

Looks pretty awesome to be fair and considering that it is the screen that is used on an iPad for £150 which isn't too bad and the fact that it is quite small it would be quite nice to have on your desk as a notification center and for other similar tasks.

And you can mess with it as well if you want which is cool

Well its semi-cool. I like the high res but only DP and TB? Basically making it a Mac display for those who already have high res :wacko:

 

Due to its small size it would be perfect for Pi or carrying it around to connect to computers like in a ... lets say datacenter? But with no HDMI/VGA its pointless for that as well.

 

So have at it Mac-ers, I will have to pass till they have more interfaces then I will buy ASAP!

I'd need to see wayyyyyy more info than this to even come close to considering putting money into this kick starter...

It seems so pointless, I have displayport on my video card but I can't justify the price when if I really wanted a small monitor I would just hook up a 15 inch lcd.
