Anyone in the UK want an EMBRACE+

Wassup, not sure on the legislation of listing things here, but I received my Embrace+ from a Kickstarter campaign yesterday, bought it for my other half who has an HTC One X, turns out it requires version 4.3 of Android or higher, it's a really nice bit of kit. There's a video of it here.

It's on eBay if anyone in the UK wants it. If you're a reputable member on here, I may consider sending abroad, but you're paying the postage.

That kinda seems useless now with the release of smartwatches.

I backed it in April of last year. It took 16 months for them to make it, despite having design mockups and prototypes of everything before receiving a quarter of a million to make it.

It's good for those that don't want to look like Michael Knight, but want notifications, I bought it for my other half, she works in a place where her phone has to stay in her bag out the back. So wearing this would alert her to texts from certain people via the changing colours/styles. However her HTC One X (a relatively new phone compared to the 2.3 minimum they stated when I backed) is not compatible due to needing android 4.3.

@a_5mith I can see it being really useful in that situation. Root the One X and install a rom with 4.3?

I asked them that, they replied back with, we did try that, it didn't work on the One X, but it did on the Galaxy S3 mini... A phone I don't own.

Helpful.

Well if you don't find any takers in the UK, if you want to donate that to the next plugin competition we could pay for the shipping It's about time we got a new competition going, it's been a while

Julian's on vacation next week so best to do it next Friday so that he has 0 chances of winning.

@psychobunny Potentially, they've offered to send me out another one for some reason, so I may take this off ebay and see what happens.

Haha okay, no pressure. We definitely do have to get a new competition up and running though
