The news will no doubt come as somewhat of a disappointment to fans of Robin, which was successfully Kickstarted in 2015. The startup aimed to set its phones apart from other Android devices with its promise of leveraging cloud storage so users would never run out of space on their phones. 。
Those who backed the original Kickstarter or purchased a Robin since aren't totally out of luck, though.。
Writing on the company's forums, Nextbit CEO Tom Moss promised existing users would continue to see software updates and security patches through February 2018. "We are still dedicated to supporting all of you," he wrote.。
And while the company is backing away from Robin, Moss hinted that there's much more to come from the team. "We’ll be doing exactly what we’ve been doing all along, only bigger and better."。
