Yes, it's available worldwide. I backed the kickstarter in January and
got mine in July. I think they have now caught up with the backlog and
are available at retail. I still have not received my peripherals yet,
though -- nobody has. But the company is doing OK and discussing a 2nd
model.

They plan to update Android but so far there's only been one update.
It's currently on Android 7.1. I'm hoping for 8 with Project Treble.

The retro angle is that it's a licensed successor model to the
late-1990s Psion Series 5 and 5MX. It has the same keyboard, licensed
from Psion. The modern machine is thinner and does not have a
removable battery (sadly).

It also runs Debian Linux and Jolla Sailfish.
