DocScrutinizer05 | I finally come to the conclusion that it's totally pointless to try and develop and produce and sell hardware without a solid funding upfront | 12:48 |

norly | :( | 12:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | UMPH WHAT? >>The Cosmo is based on the powerful Mediatek P70 8-core processor plus separate GPU and AI processors.<< | 12:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | separate GPU ? | 12:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | AI processors? lol | 12:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | anyway https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cosmo-communicator/payments/new#/checkout | 12:54 |
norly | they process your AI. it's like a food processor, but for AI | 12:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | can do this since >>This campaign has built only a working demo of their product, not the final product. Earlier this year, we successfully delivered our Gemini PDA product to more than 7000 Indiegogo backers<< | 12:56 |
norly | i'd like to know what they really are though | 12:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | LOL >>LTE World-wide modem (Cat.7 DL / Cat. 13 UL )<< | 13:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | where to find out *when* a campaign got started on indiegogo? | 13:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe >>posted by Planet Computers Nov 5, 2018 • 7:09PM "Cosmo reaches Indiegogo funding goal in 4 hours!"<< ? | 13:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | (LTE) aaah yep >>The LTE final band list is not finalised and we will publish as soon as we have it. << | 13:35 |
dos1 | that Mediatek processor has LTE integrated AFAIK | 15:12 |
Joerg-Neo900 | sure | 15:12 |
Joerg-Neo900 | hard to find a SoC without, nowadays | 15:12 |
dos1 | business idea: take SoCs and sell them as standalone LTE modules :v | 15:14 |
* dos1 starts to wonder if this joke isn't actually a sensible thing | 15:17 | |
norly | dos1: we kinda joked about that a few days ago already... i think joerg suggested running such a SoC not only as a baseband, but as a full android phone inside a mobile computer | 15:19 |
DocScrutinizer51 | witd display in a VNC window | 15:36 |
norly | though | 15:37 |
norly | we should probably have a SoC as baseband, then a SoC for android, then another SoC for the linux computer | 15:37 |
norly | so we're already at 3 SoCs | 15:38 |
DocScrutinizer51 | wouldn't spend a soc for android | 15:38 |
Joerg-Neo900 | fold-able displays - my dream comes true @ MWC | 16:13 |
hallyn | yeah those look nice | 16:43 |
hallyn | but where does my physical kbd go | 16:43 |
hallyn | on the back, as a two-handed backside kbd? | 16:44 |
hallyn | like the old twiddler? | 16:44 |
Joerg-Neo900 | that's an orthogonal problem that actually doesn't change much from former/recent formfactor designs to future folded display | 16:45 |
Joerg-Neo900 | right? | 16:46 |
Joerg-Neo900 | I'm still deeply in love with properly integrated detachable slider kbd | 16:46 |
hallyn | would be tough to properly weight a 6" square (is that about what it is?) foldable device with detached slider kbd, i would think. but then, no way would ppl be willing to learn how to use a backside kbd, | 18:21 |
hallyn | i suppose it could detach when folded, and when unfolded you resign yourself to a bt kbd | 18:22 |
* sicelo fails to see the use/benefit of folding displays | 19:01 | |
hallyn | easy to carry in pocket, yet useful display? phone display sizes are silly | 19:03 |
sicelo | oh well - i don't know much about hardware, but imo, anything that folds has inherent disadvantage of limited life. i guess i'm more inclined to trust a mechanical hinge instead of folding the screen itself | 19:16 |
Joerg-Neo900 | hallyn: the "detachable" is meant for semi-persistent device configuration. For use slide out | 19:17 |
Joerg-Neo900 | about mass balancing (without considering the yet new folded-display) I thought to detach the battery+camera layer from the sandwich, attach the slider-kbd (slide mech on upside of kbd) and re-attach the bat+cam layer to bottom of kbd | 19:19 |
Joerg-Neo900 | for camera it might even have a 15mm wide "bar" that isn't "split" into layers and doesn't slide out with kbd or detach with battery layer | 19:21 |
