As usual, I always appreciate your perspective. I would say that if there is a question about the viability of the company, loss of updates could lead to a lack of security patches, as well as no support leading to the device potentially breaking. Just something to consider.
Great question. I don't know. I haven't received mine yet, and I've reached out to the Bigme folks twice with no response. I'm starting to wonder . . .
@@WreckmastaRCP No, actually they reached out to me to tell me they would send me a unit to review. I had a great contact there who connected with me on the S6 Color+ Lite earlier in the year. Then that contact left the organization and handed me over to her replacement who has yet to communicate with me. That was over a month ago when that transition occurred. I reached out for updates on two occasions and have been ghosted thus far. I checked my junk mail to make sure I wasn't missing any messages, and I haven't. At this point I don't know what to think. I might end up doing a video on the situation, because it kind of points to a larger problem with the company.
They have an older B/W model, a 6.8" version, the Origin. They have three Wave models--a B/W, a Kaleido plus, and a Kaleido 3. Unfortunately, The K3 is currently not listed. The problem with Mobiscribe is that many of their items sell out, including various pens, nibs, etc. They aren't known for prompt communication and many worry about their long term viability. I have the Kaleido 3 and love it, but I also have a Supernote and a Boox device in case Mobiscribe disappears. They made an announcement a couple weeks ago, basically apologizing and promising a two-year plan. Then the K3 wasn't listed on the web site.
I didn't realize they actually shipped some of the K3 devices. Thanks for letting me know. That actually makes things a bit stranger -- I'm not sure what to think about that.
@@jeffreymoss I just received an email from Mobiscribe (Response took only three days, which is speedy for them.) Here are two new newsworthy items. First, they wrote that their "Kaleidoscope 3 won't be available in the United States." (Although as I mentioned earlier, I was able to get one earlier. I sent a follow-up email to see why.) Second, they "don't have any plans to design a larger device for now."
Just got a same day email response....Wow! Mobiscribe gave the reason the Kaleido 3 version will not be sold in America. They stated, "Due to the manufacturer being in Taiwan, they decided to sell the device locally."

Hello Jeff. Is a review of the Bigme Hibreak coming some time soon?
Great question. I don't know. I haven't received mine yet, and I've reached out to the Bigme folks twice with no response. I'm starting to wonder . . .
Did you order the B&W one specifically?
