Whoa Mozilla labs has plans to build their own OS based on android. Its just a concept right now but its crazy to see how far technology could go. The original article was on gizmodo but I thought id share since were all bored and arguing around here anyways. I looked for this before I posted it and couldn't find anything similar in the 3D section.
Here's the video.

The article from gizmodo.
http://gizmodo.com/5824729/mozillas-making-a-cellphone-os-based-on-android
Edit: This is my first time hearing about this, i guess im late to the party lol. *facepalm*
That video has been around for a while but the news about them building an OS using Android is new. Sounds like a UI on top of Android to me though.

Ahhh yeah does sound like a custom UI sort of like sense but the article said they arent adopting java; could be interesting. I know im late i barely found that video lol.
If that thing was ever built, it'd be the most expensive smartphone that has ever existed, haha.
Can't imagine the battery life on that thing.
I saw that about a year ago and I don't think we are much closer to it being realistic. It looks amazing but I think we are years away from anything close to that.

Damn its that old lol sheesh; yeah battery life would probably be god awful, you'd need a backup generator in your house to keep it going lol. @buckley im sure it would at least be 1000 at minimum.

I need to patent my idea of a solar cell on the back of phones. I read about this a while back.

Although they don't have the same sensor technology for typing and stuff, you have been able to order phones with built in PICO projectors from overseas forever. I own a Pico projector seperately and it is awesome. Not much bigger than the 3VO. Well, like 3 times thicker, but can fit in your pocket.
Again, they've been making them for years overseas, so why the have to pretend being able to project your phones screen on to the wall is some future concept is silly. I know it has a lot more features than that, so it is a concept phone. But I just think it's interesting that projector part has such a wow factor when they are made everyday.
This is from CES 2009. A Samsung phone for Korea:

Looks great and still like a prototype

looks like a very wishful concept to me, the price of manufacturing a phone like that at the moment seems like it would be ridiculous
flip phone
It would seem that great design is not the preserve of SE any more. Imagine if this came with a dual core cpu. It would be a smash hit. That's if its actually an upcoming phone and not just a concept. Well I suppose let's wait and see.
To see how technology improves from 2000-2011 its amazing!!!
It's absolutely beautiful.
The concept is good but using the middle screen may be uncomfortable.
It's very much a functional fashion accessory.
Looks like something that will be scratched up in no time?
Sent from my X10x using XDA App
Great concept, but I don't think it is real and won't be real... Better use a phone that thinner then that.
Why would you need 3 screens? Imagine the battery life..
wow,it's amazing!
3 screens,i think the phone really need 3 batteries.
I loved the video the concept looks nice but this is gonna eat alot of battery in no time !

i went to www.idkul.com and read about and it is real ! they only developed few of them like 10 or so for testing purposes ! OH EM F GEE!
Yeah, instead of swiping in order to change the homescreen, you turn the whole phone
Overall looks very stylish!
it is just a concept by Nokia, there are so many others as well. i dont think they would ever see daylight officialy by Nokia. Chinese alternatives are already out

Maybe they should make a few prototype to sell on the market and see how it goes? Im prettt sure it would be an instant hit! But i kinda find it quick too techy?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I agree that they should produce a few of them, but still. That things is bigger then a phone. I think a phone would function much better then this, and also will be cheaper?
it's just a prototype... if it's real it will be released after about 1 or 2 years and it will Once again be too late, since there will already be quad core phones.

Always though its stupid to generalise people on what OS they use. I use Android for my Tablets and use iOS for my Phones. I must be stupid and intelligent. I prefer iOS for phones, it's much better (IMO) compared to Android. Tablets I'm the other way around, prefer Android.

Each to there own but just don't like Android on phones and don't like iOS on tablets. Many reasons why but that's for another time.
Apple and Android fanboys who constantly hate on each other are all idiots. Simply enjoy what you have and don't worry about the other side.

If you have a problem with wifi on your iPad rub the back with a bounce dryer sheet, that should solve the static IP problem, lol.
On a somewhat related note, I spent 30 minutes in best buy trying to do a price match for a TV I bought the previous week. I couldn't get the girl to understand what was going on so she got a manager after 5 minutes. After the manager comes over I can't get him to comprehend what's going on either. Their system price is the same as the instore prices but he keeps saying it is "online" showing "online prices" yet the price is cheaper through my laptop and phone. Finally he says "when in doubt use a Mac," right then I knew why he had no common sense. After he gets his Mac it still took forever because I had to show him how to navigate the web (he was having trouble clicking links to get to the product page and cart, and also he couldn't figure out how to get to the previous page so I showed him that fancy back button) the product said see cart for price and he keep hitting add to cart with the same result, a pop up box that had a highlighted "go to cart" link right under the "add to cart" button he keep hitting.

I agree completely. Android is not for everyone and neither is iOS. Personally I don't like Apple because you re really locked into what Steve liked rather than what you like as far as look and feel. I'm not going to put anyone down for their choice and don't expect anyone to put me down for what I like. It's all about choice, and those differences in everything make life interesting.

It doesn't look like they have anything real to show.
The video looks like the product of video editing.
Looks really cool. If it's lag free, I'd be willing to pay for it.
looks great, reminds me somehow of windowsphone^^
are there any informations when this will be released? cant find any on the side?!

What does this video look like?
Sent from my MIUI Evo 3D
Amazing! Any news on when it will be out?
will it be open source? for ports to HP touchpad cuz I doubt they'd do it if they care about 'consumer experience'
the UI does look amazing...its exactly what I wanted from a tablet
Its running on ICS, wouldn't it be possible to do distribute this as a custom launcher with its own widgets.
Either way its nice to see other companies taking advantage of the Android source and adding their own enhancements to it. Some call it fragmentation, but its no different than Linux distros. In the end the user gets the power to customize even more.
Why is Bud Bundy on their website?
On a serious note, Teknision has some real pretty eye-candy on their site.
But aside from contributing to the PlayBook interface, it looks like all they have done so far is prototypes.
The demo looks good but they are pandering to the OEMs, not the consumers.
If anything, I think you might see this on a very expensive, yet to be produced device.
Maybe next year.
Can't a Dev come up with something like that for us in the free world (donations given obviously), because stock Android on tablets in general has yet to impress me.

The world revolves around money... i cannot express how lucky we are to have the community we do, and the software that has come from it. Sadly, i see that community shrinking over time, not growing

In order to develop something like that, a developer would need to have the resources that teknison has, the man power that teknison has, the money that teknison has, and the test devices that teknison has.
none that neither I nor any other developer ever WILL have. so no, we cant come up with something like that. you cant just throw something like that together. its taken probably the better part of a year with a group of people to develop something like that.
So, time goes, but what are the news from Teknision about Project Chameleon?
I think I would get tired of this pretty quick. Transition animation is pretty cool but there is a point where I want things to open quicker and this just looks like a lot of graphics without adding anything all that great.
A lot of it depends on how whether it can be tailored to each persons wants. So many times I see something that looks cool on youtube but then you try it your self and it doesn't do what you want it to do.
Can this run flawlessly on CN ICS or classicnerd ICS?
Anybody give some feedback?
Minimum Tablet Requirements
Android 3.2 (HoneyComb) and newer
Device Type
Android Tablet
Display
1280 x 800 and above
Wont run on a Touchpad I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).
Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?
Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.
I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol
The choice is obvious
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

Not to mention, every time an android user switches to an iPhone, God kills a kitten.
Please reconsider, for the kittens.

why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?
I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.

What do you guys think about google glass? Ive used a pair a few times, someone at the university has one. I think they are pretty sweet to be honest. But I keep reading this crazy reviews about how people are going to be using it for "always on" video recording, discreet photos, surveillance..
And then there are the people who think its going to cause car accidents, promote inattention, etc. Others are complaining about the cost (which isn't even released yet) or the lack of apps (again.. not released..)
I don't understand the constant "doom and gloom" outlook the general population and the media have on this. 90% of their information is plain wrong, and the other 10% is misinterpreted..
its so irritating, and definitely "wtf" worthy
