EeWrite E-Pad E-Ink tablet Kickstarter now live and already well past its goal

EeWrite launched its Kickstarter for the ambitious E-Pad Android tablet last night and it took just minutes for the crowdfund to reach its goal. According to the Chinese manufacturer, the project reached $10000 in just under 10 minutes to guarantee all early backers a unit later in the year.

The project is currently sitting at over 250 backers with over $100000 in pledges at the time of writing.

The E-Pad is notable for being a high-end Android tablet with an E-Ink touchscreen. While there have been E-Ink Android tablets in the past, the E-Pad will be the first to support 4G LTE, expandable storage, and WACOM stylus inputs all in one package. EeWrite wants to launch its tablet for $400 to $500 USD by this August.
