I think the real story here is the use of Kickstarter to remove the risk from further developments on the Android app. If you want to go ahead and create something, but are worried about it panning out, this starts to open up new options.

It's not the first time it's been done, but it's encouraging to see creators being able to deliver to those who want their products with less question marks in the process.



I think the real story is how easy it is to scam people out of 30k for doing what could be done in a weekend with Google maps and some info from the authorities.
