Howdy!
We've started a hardware/software dev VLOG as a way of keeping our backers (you) updated about our progress.
What we've learned is that keeping backers up to date and developing/mass producing a product can be challenging.
We're currently still working on MAKERphone's software and hardware design as well as preparing the device for mass production.
A unique game of your choice!
Thanks to your awesome support, we've passed a stellar amount of 200k.
As a thank-you sign, we'll code a unique game of your choice and make it available online for everyone to download to their MAKERphone.
The game will be open-source and you can vote for your favorite game type and suggest new ideas here:

I feel like Santa Claus today.
Two new case types/colors poll results
In our 5th update, we've asked what two new color schemes you people want.
We've received lots of... interesting input and here are the most popular choices:
1) Space gray (boy, you people sure like gray).
2) Clear radioactive green (my favorite too)
3) Atomic purple - clear GameBoy-ish case (good choice!)
Some submissions that I find interesting but were unfortunately not popular enough:
- Red edges and black surface
- It's for my husband so I have no idea. I like atomic purple!
- Turquise
- Metallic copper
- Iridescent Green (hummingbird)
New stretch goal approaching soon and we're out of ideas
I'm creatively exhausted... What do you think?
What further stretch goals should we offer?
Tell us in the comments below.

Here's a MAKERphone meme for the end:
You're going to help us, Mr. Anderson. Whether you want to or not. We want you to make your own mobile phone.
Cheerio!
