Isn't this an absurdly optimistic timeline for a hardware startup? I notice that both of the project founders are marketers -- were any engineers consulted when coming up with this estimate?

@teraflop

Thanks for the comment. I want to clarify. By real product, I don't think mass production. I meant a working prototype with an acceptable design. Velo is an independent venture of mine, but with the full support of Netizens (it's where I work), once I validate the idea. I had consulted it with our R&D department many times along the way in recent weeks before I decided to go public with this concept.
