OneSizeFitsNoone's Journal: PengPod 1040 Native Linux+Android tablet crowdfunding starving

Old-time, hardcore Linux fans are supposed to be jumping of joy at the prospect of having a tablet that can boot Linaro GNU/Linux natively and has images in the making for booting a host of other Linux distros like Fedora, Debian, Arch, OpenSUSE. Yet, crowdfunding for the PengPod 1040 Quad Core Linux-Android Dual Booting Tablets is languishing, having raked in just about $34,000 of the $349,000 goal. One wonders how comes so few linuxers are keen at supporting a tablet that matches up against most big brand ones, hosts OpenCores openhardware components, and set itself a target that is just 1,09% of UbuntuEdgde's. Can it all be explained by the lack of media attention, as PengPod's main developer maintains? With just two weeks of crowdfunding left and not even 10% of the target met, what are the reasons this project has been lagging behind in fan's support after previous models like the PP700 and 1000 where welcomed and much more talked about in the tech press?
