Well I'm hoping so. There was an update a couple of days ago on the
Facebook page, where they said:

"This resulted in the current price of the Spectrum Next to be around £160

"The original plan of starting the campaign on Kickstarter in June is now
pushed back around a couple of months"

So keep alert!
