While the team is hoping to raise $50,000 for the project, there are a series of stretch goals: the first few aren’t super-exciting: an extra USB port and an additional color option (black or silver). Update: That didn’t take long. The Superbook passed the $50,000 goal just a few minutes after the campaign launched.
You’ll need a device with Android 5.0 or later, at least 1.5 GB of RAM, a dual-core processor, and at lest 25MB of free storage space to use the Superbook.
Google now has a remarkably viable, self-funding pilot fish out in front of their Android PC phone efforts seeing EXACTLY what people like and don't like about the idea.
By going and doing it, which is the very best & quietest way to find out what you need to know
without putting your company and your overall customer image at risk --- are you listening, MS?
I think Google does it smart, paying out some small money to test the ideas with a seed company and seeing what the little pilot fish discovers that really needs to be included into Android before the idea goes mainstream.
Note how this implementation plays off the existing motif of plugging up your phone to the USB port of the laptop to catch you a bumper charge -- looks very normal to most of us, doesn't it?
And as Jide has already done with bigger desktop screens the new Andromium is presently testing out the waters more directly on the various Phone PC ideas.
Next month Google releases the very first part of their 2-3 step release process on the PC Phone idea, a brand new multi-windows switching and a defined accessible file system comes out as part of the new Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.
Vendors are busy putting out Jide Android Laptop machines complete now over in the orient, and now we got the phone stuff birthing their own pilot fish program using crowdfunding, so it will only happen if it is considered DESIRABLE to enough people.
