I am Jamie Siminoff the inventor of POP. We are in the process of confirming if the changes that Apple PR told the press are true. If they are then POP will be made and I look forward to delivering it to all of the doubters out there.

@Devilboy, I hope you order one as I will hand deliver it and take that $10:)

I hope your product ends up in the Apple store someday. (I'd join the kickstarter, but it's closed; if you re-open at some point, great, otherwise I'll just buy it at retail.)

I must say I enjoy your company's forthright communication style. Glad apple's control freak diva routine didn't stop your project.

Did your original Project (and the pop charger people pay for) contemplate the use of a lightning port? It didn't. Then why cancel the project when you cannot add it?

Even if you are not allowed to use the 30 pin... Why don't you just use an USB port on the device?

Or just avoid the "Made for iPhone" sticker. I have plenty if iPhone accessories that aren't certified but work nonetheless.

We did which is why we felt we had no choice but to refund if we could not support it.

I'm curious, are you going to apologize for calling them assholes in print?
