Indiegogo: $28 LY Android phone, buy directly from Factory
Posted by – July 2, 2015
Launched now on Indiegogo at http://igg.me/at/ly and http://igg.me/at/ly3
The idea is to sell the world’s cheapest phones in bulk to anyone directly from the factory in Shenzhen China. Anyone can be a small distributor and make money reselling everywhere.
LY is a new Smartphones brand from Shenzhen China. The cheapest model is LY3 sold at $28 (for 25 pieces) with a 3.5″HVGA display on Spreadtrum SC7715 Single-core ARM Cortex-A5.
LY1 sells at $119 (for 25 pieces) with a 5″HD display and with better-than Android One specs using the MediaTek MT6582 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.
LY2 sells at $53 (for 25 pieces) with a 4″WVGA display on a MediaTek MT6572 Dual-core ARM Cortex-A7.
The idea of LY is that people buying more than 1 unit get these discounts which is also the profits they can make if they resell them at the suggested price:
1 = Full price
5 = 15% discount
10 = 20% discount
25 = 30% discount

$149 Haier Chromebook 11 on RK3288, ready for OEM brands worldwide
Posted by – June 11, 2015
Haier presents their Haier Chromebook 11 on Rockchip RK3288 selling at $149 now at http://amzn.to/1yrxBY2 they are also the only manufacturer who can provide this as the OEM Chromebook for any brand who wants to make a big order. Before the end of this year, Haier will also make a 13.3″ Chromebook. This is the product that I have been waiting for for 10 years since OLPC was launched. This is potentially the $100 Laptop for Education realized. It’s $149 now in retail, but it could be $100 maybe if subsidized when providing for the children in developing areas of the world. Google needs to invest in a lower power sunlight readable LCD display, HTML5 offline apps and content needs to work better, the Android apps integration in Chrome OS needs to be fully supported. If Haier, Google, Rockchip, Governments and others do this right, they can sell 100 million of these.

People compare Huawei Mate7 vs Note4 vs iPhone6+
Posted by – June 11, 2015
Last year, I asked normal people which of the top-3 high-end phablets of last year they thought was the better one among Huawei Mate 7, iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the flagship phablets of end 2014 and first half of 2015, from the top-3 Smartphone manufacturers in the world. I think the Mate7 is the best among those, let’s see how Huawei Mate 8 will compare with Note5 and iPhone6S+.
nevo watch, Swiss Smartwatch with LEDs, vibrate, BT, 5 months battery life
Posted by – June 9, 2015
nevo watch is a beautiful classical style minimalist connected smartwatch on a Swiss Timekeeping movement from Swatch Group for showing the time, French design, integrates activity tracking, phone notifications as beautiful LED lights, 11 white lights that light up behind each hour indicator, 6 of them programmable in 6 different beautiful colors, nevo also vibrates awesomely on notifications and the alarm. nevo comes with an Android and iOS app to pair with a smartphone over Bluetooth 4.1 LE. Amazingly the battery lilfe is 3-5 years for the time and 3-5 months for the connected Smartwatch with LED and vibrate feature. Changing the standard cell battery is easy. I am hoping they can support vibrate and color combinations customized by contact in each app, for example I should feel when a specific person is contacting through a specific app.
Right now they sell nevo watch at $329 for basic and $449 for perpetual solar charging version on http://www.nevowatch.com, consider this is a Swiss watch movement inside, not cheap stuff. Though I do think if they could price it at $99 basic and $149 solar charger version, or perhaps $149 and $199, that would make it easier to sell many. And if they sell many, it’s more worthwhile for them to upgrade the app functionality with patterns in vibrate and color LEDs for specific in-app notification behavior, for example I’d like it to light and vibrate differently for my mom, girlfriend, boss or other contacting me in each app. And also sync pattern of LED and vibrate with Android alarms and Google calendar. Check back for my review of the nevo watch!
Nevo Watch is available now at http://www.nevowatch.com

Hatch Custom Android Devices Development and Manufacturing
Posted by – June 9, 2015
Hatch supports customers from experienced engineers to non-technical folk. The underlying similarity is that these customers require a clear and turnkey product solution. They can communicate the requirements to Hatch, sometimes at a highly technical level and sometimes they just explain the use case for the product and Hatch puts technical parameters around that. Benjamin Dolgin-Gardner founded Hatch’s predecessor Xtatix, a private label brand of commodity electronics, in 2004. Now Hatch works with all the main Android IC companies and other parts of the manufacturing eco-system to bring client’s ideas/dreams/requirements to reality. Customer demand ranges from mainstream product like a tablet or smartphone to customized Android devices that seem to have an endless amount of uses.
