https://www.kickstarter.com/proj…I like the idea. But wish there was something inbetween a minimal phone and smartphones - a small touch screen phone that had an open source calendar, email and contacts app. Plus epic battery life. Secretly hoping Teenage Engineering do something like this.

hm, did I miss something. is this thing powered by light or can it do magic?
You can get one of these for 15 euros, doesn’t look quite as fancy though and doesn’t come with some kind of bullshit philosophy behind it.
Also I don’t buy their sob story about limited recources and 3d printing prototypes in someones garage and stuff. I guess with a little bit of knowledge and connections you could order thousands of those things for cheap by some chinese manufacturer. Construct a story around it that picks up on a current need (peace of mind) and voilá: the perfect hipster trap.
maybe I should start selling broken lightbulbs for light sensitive people.

I agree, there are plenty of choice for that size in dumb- or smartphone market, just not from the big brands.
