Oh yeah, I remember that too. That one always felt to me like something they couldn't deliver on (just like the hand crank -- which admittedly, that one they did tell everyone would be dropped before they ordered).

But I remember being most disappointed about the mesh networking, since that was supposed to be the thing that made the project feasible. I intentionally bought two of these devices just so they could talk to each other -- and they couldn't reliably do so, even with conventional WiFi at their disposal).
