Neonode sponsored skateboarders Martin Gustafsson and Mika Edin from Sexpak Stix Skateboard team as they head out on the 88 Footwear Smörgåsboard Tour this September. They will be skating demo’s, signing autographs and showing their Neonode N1’s to anyone who asks.

So Neonode tries to market their Neonode Smartphone first to the young market segment in Sweden.

The Neonode site has now a shop to buy the N1, but its only working for customers who already got a code. To get a code interested customers need to still sign-up on the pre-order list.
