I was wondering what's the real duration of the battery.

Here on the diagram it's saying 30 days (which is awesome) - https://flipperzero.one/zero

But on the same diagram on kickstater it's saying 7 days only... -https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flipper-devices/flipper...

I'm really into this device but the https://flipperzero.one/one looks so more promising and having a raspberry inside open a whole new world of possibilities, mainly on wifi.

Please don't be fake. Please don't be fake. Deciding between 1, 2, or 3... Really it depends if I can use these with the new garage door openers made in the past 5 years.

I was following the founder on the Telegram for last year – definitely not fake.

Already at $130k, at this rate it will get bluetooth and NFC as well.

Yes, not bad at all. I would back it too, if I could afford to. What I wonder is, did they have a following from before, and that is how they were able to reach enough people to get to 200% of their goal in so short time? Or did it simply spread organically because of how awesome it is? The video was really good and convincing. I just always wonder this because I would like to do a Kickstarter for a project of my own…

6 hours later, that $130k is now $437k. And it was up for a bit before GP posted their comment - 30 to 50 minutes, I think, so a good chunk of that 200% may well be from here as well.

The LCD is orange [lit] in the mockups but is that a design requirement? Some of the technical images show it as the default "LCD green-grayish" color.

Looks to be the Sharp “Memory” LCDs. They’re highly reflective so don’t require backlights like traditional LCDs. Think e-ink. So any colour LED can be used as embellishment, including orange.

This thing is basically JC Denton's multikey mixed with his electric multitool thing. Yes, I am channelling my inner Sheldon Cooper for needless pop culture references but this device is totally sweet and a perfect tool to assert dominance over you co-workers as "king nerd". I really like it's Y2k aesthetic and this thing is totally feature packed! You've got yourself a backer @zhovner!

Sigh. And another backer here. :) I figured I'll inevitably need one of the radio features in the near future, and would kick myself for not having a Flipper or other convenient radio multi-tool at hand.
