I just had a coworker in Shenzhen drive past their "China office" There is no Hop On. It's Shenzhen Jiaoda Sci&tech Industrial Co.,Ltd at that address... Their "Irvine" address is a stip mall storefront... I think they are 100% bogus… I just had a coworker in Shenzhen drive past their “China office” There is no Hop On.

It’s Shenzhen Jiaoda Sci&tech Industrial Co.,Ltd at that address…

Their “Irvine” address is a stip mall storefront…

Dialing 0 to reach an operator says its not a valid extension. Dialing sales or any other extension puts you at the general voice mailbox. You can't buy products through their website. There is no 800 number and I haven't received any replies to my emails. It's hard to prove a company is or isn't real when you can't even get in touch with them.

At the same time I see no concrete evidence that Hop-on is not currently working on an Android handset so perhaps you'd like to elaborate. I see you're having trouble contacting them, that their CEO is shady, etc - but nothing that conclusively states vaporware. As of right now (5:30 am PST) their phone system is working fine - perhaps you and the others making some pretty harsh accusations will try again to get in touch with the company so that these claims might be better-substantiated.

They don't really produce any products, the CEO is in jail, and the California headquarters is in a strip mall next to a jewelry store. Press releases shouldn't be taken for face value.
