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. 。
