The tech is mostly not even here yet, actually. Thats why it took so long to build this. Cutting edge tech companies would sign a contract with us, then go out of business, and we'd have to spend 2 months looking for a replacement and redesigning the hardware.

Right now the cards are fully functional. I had one to show at the Miami Bitcoin Conference a few months back. It's fully flexible (board, screen, battery), dirt proof, and water resistant. Has connectors to charge and transmit data, and a radio to do the same. Also has actual working buttons. And despite this, it is still only as thin as a credit card. It would have been ready for production and sale last month, but we discovered that if you flex it too much the gold leads connecting the CPU can cross and short out, so we have had to move the CPU to the other side, and that means redesign the board connections, order more prototypes from the factory, and do more vigorous testing. We hope to get prototypes in around June or so. In the mean time, we also got a $150,000 grant for "innovative hardware" or something, to redesign the UI and make it completely intuitive out-of-the-box. So, if all goes well and all the testing comes back with good results, we may be able to get production going by the end of this fall. Tiny things can cause huge delays with these things.

I'd be interested to see a prototype.
