At $325, this smartphone thermal imager would be real nice for both Android and iOS:

FLIR and BAE are also working on Thermal Smartphones for DARPA, but they are much more expensive:

I pre ordered one of these almost a year ago. So far either they lost the order of they are not in production yet?

They aren't in production yet.  They are currently still squashing bugs and dealing with the MCU firmware.  If that is the case, being involved in software myself, they probably still have at least 3 months from production if not 4-6 months.

Note to self with the potential of thermal technology being in every smart phone I need to invent/design a fashionable line of thermal defeating clothing for women before Ralph Lauren or one of those others hipster companies jumps on it.

How much performance are you going to get out of a $325 unit? Would this be anything more than a toy?

just an interesting fact. to test our IR lights before a mission use an Iphone camera and look through it and you can see if the IR lights are on.

So you get that, and rig up a mount to attach the iphone to your scope...

I'm on the preorder list as well.
I thought it was worth the gamble.
Trust me, I will be posting when I/if I get mine.

160x120 image?  Those "sample" images are certainly fake, then.
I've been looking for one for use in automotive diagnostics, but unfortunately the technology is still expensive.

Small dupe  http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_18/393942_Mu_Thermal_Camera_attachment_for_phone_cameras.html

I'm on the preorder list too.  It's really only been 6 months .  Basically these guys are near-scammers in way over their heads and the pre-order advetising was more than a little misleading optimistic.
You can get refunds on the Indigogo pre-order if you email them, check the comments in the Indiegogo pre-order page.  i figured it was only $150 for the pre-order so I'd let it ride in the hopes of actually getting something eventually.
