^I'm actually directly involved with this. We're making a portable, 20" touchscreen music stand that completely eliminates the need for paper sheet music and everything awful about it. It allows hands-free page turning, annotation sharing, and online storage of your sheet music library (so you'll never lose a page again).
We want to launch the first one in March 2012 because of an upcoming national TV appearance. Finishing software on time is the last major hurdle. To help meet the goal, we're holding a hacking competition in NYC to attract developers, designers, and techy musicians. We have until next Tuesday January 17 to raise the event budget at that Kickstarter page.
Right now, I'm really trying to raise our visibility... literally every time someone backs us, at any amount, we move visibly closer to the top of the "popular this week" page. If we make it to the top, we'll become a featured technology project and all kinds of people will see us!
There are also some really cool rewards for higher backers, such as pre-orders of the actual device. Nothing even gets charged unless we succeed. But again, it's the number of backers that raises our visibility, so any amount from lots of people would be amazing.
If anybody has questions, I'm totally here and ready to answer them. :-)
If you're asking who I am in relation to the people making this, I'm one of the (currently) small group of people who comprise the startup. I'm involved in dev in that I talk to the core software team, though I don't write code myself.
