Pocket chip looks interesting! Love my Pi2, but I know I don't really have a use for this at the moment.

That seems impressive but not that practical. Either way, since this is funded far in advance of its goal to meet mass production/economies of scale and the fact that kickstarters have a pretty awful track record for reward delivery, I'd much rather wait for this to be a bonafide product for sale - hell, some kickstarters are available to buy direct faster than some backers have gotten their rewards.
