Anyway, I feel so strongly because I'm walking around CES burdened by electronics hardware, and FINsix is about one-fourth the size and one-sixth the weight of the adapters I'm carrying now. In the long run, the fancy physics may help FINsix venture into industrial applications, but the company will win its first fans in the consumer market, starting with tech journalists.
Crowd-funding launch: CEO Vanessa Green says that a campaign is likely this spring, and we guess it'll be on Kickstarter. To date, the company has a couple of thousand preorders through informal channels, and shipments should begin in the summer. The price is in the $90 range.
