Collapsible 24" Display Explodes Onto Kickstarter
The swiftly-funded Spontaneous Pop-up Display (SPUD) is "The 24-inch collapsible TV you can take anywhere"
This might be the fastest we've ever seen anything get Kickstarted. Just 35 minutes after going live SPUD, the Spontaneous Pop-Up Display with a 24-inch screen, hit its $33,000 goal. In scarcely 24 hours it's already over $130,000 pledges and climbing.

Here are some of the details we've been waiting for:
Enter a caption (optional)The screen isn't glass, but a crack- and chip-proof vinyl composite that is wrinkle-resistant. The rear projection onto the screen reportedly "promises ultra-sharp images," and the developers report that it does not require a dim environment to be used in.
Should the device crack $250,000 in funding (which it surely will, given that there's still 44 days left in the campaign), the battery will be upgraded to last for a maximum of 10 hours rather than 6.
SPUD is expected to retail for $499; early-bird pledges at a reduced $349 price are all gone, but at press time there were still some $399 early-birds available. Shipping is scheduled for June of next year.
Here's the closest thing they've got to a real-world demo:
This thing looks pretty amazing. Never mind the entertainment applications; this thing would be a boon to designers who are traveling with a laptop and unexpectedly need to attend to CAD emergencies.

I love it, but I have a hunch it's going to break another less enviable speed record: fastest time from Kickstarter pitch to omnipresent Alibaba offering.
Very cool! Great starting point for a whole new array of products me thinks!
Huge corner distortion, and only 720p resolution. It'd be great for entertaining, but I'd think you'd be hard pressed to do actual work on it.
This looks like it could be useful for trade show booths.
