UPDATES
OCTOBER 16th Update
Everyone:
Well its very very exciting today as we got in our new prototypes. One black plastic finish and one aluminum finish.
We will be testing these units for the next few days and I will get you all a report Monday as to where we are at.
Also the pole that I did on the Smart Card flyer got us some awesome ideas and thanks to you all I have a new version being made. I am going to use this same polling for any decisions that will have to be made in regards to the prototypes next week so stay tuned.
Also here are a few pictures of the prototypes. Keep in mind these are both HAND MADE so they are a LITTLE ROUGH from what the finished product will look like. I also included a picture of the inside of the Smart Card.
If you notice the black card has four blue lights and the silver card has four different colored lights that is because I wanted to see which looked better. That is one option we will all vote on. :)

October 7th Update:
Everyone:
Here is the latest on the Smart Card. China is in the middle of a holiday that started on October 1st and ends tomorrow Oct 8th. But I pushed my company over there and had one engineer continue to work on the card during this time. So the good news is the final work on the adapters to fit inside the card is done and the 3 prototypes will be complete this week and shipped for sure. They say everything is working on the card so we will see after we test it here next week.
The database of all your sales that we are going over is 50% completed as of today and should be completed next week. So some of you may still get an email from us verifying your order.
I have gotten about a half dozen emails on address changes and wondering how to do that so I developed a page for that purpose here on the web site which is www.thepower.company/address-change So if you are moving before our late November ship date fill out that form and it will be forwarded to my secretary so we can update your information.
Lastly, I love crowd funding in the sense that I get so many peoples opinions and suggestions in a great & creative way and I love the interaction. It helps me and motivates me to produce the best products I can. It also helps me to make decisions as sometimes it is hard when you are developing something new. So from this point forward especially after we receive the prototypes we will need everyone's opinions on many decisions we will need to make. So I thought I would start here. Below is an 8.5" by 11" flier that we are making for the Smart Card. I wanted to get all your opinions as to which one is better. We can't agree in the office here so let me know your opinion on both matters. There are two differences:
1) The placement of the smart card name.
2) The credit card behind the smart card to show the size.

September 30th Update:
Everyone:
Just a quick update as not to much new since the last one. China is finishing up my three prototypes this week. We finally figured out the final design of the adapters and getting them to fit inside the card. It took a lot of convincing on my part but I got the engineers to see it my way. :)
So should have prototypes next week in hand and when I get them I will forward the pictures on to you all.
Once again thanks for the support.
Blessings

September 20th Update:
Everyone:
First off thanks to all of you that have helped us get to where we are with the Smart Card. We will be providing all of you with an update every 7-10 days until we ship the cards are all shipped. In addition, all of the updates will be stored here: http://www.thepower.company/updates.html so you can go to them at anytime.
Here is the latest I have on our Smart Card campaign.
1) Was up until 4:30 AM the last two mornings with China finalizing the building of what I hope is the final prototype before we manufacture the Smart Cards. In the last 10 days we were able to bring to completion all the software issues with regards to the micro card reader.
2) We are now finalizing the design of the iphone5 & micro adapters in the next two days and the prototypes should be built by the beginning of next week and I will receive them the beginning of the following week. I am building 3 prototypes this time, one aluminum and two black plastic models. This way I can have them tested in different locations.
3) We will also be going through the complete database of sales we received from Indiegogo in the next couple weeks and our goal is to have all the sales details finished and completely gone through by the end of the month. So a lot of you will be receiving emails from us soon verifying your orders.
That’s about it for now
