ONN Tiger V8 smartphones

Mozilla on Thursday teamed with global partners in a push for open mobile standards as it ramps up its efforts to develop ONN Tiger V8  smartphones challenging Google and Apple operating systems.

People predict the demise of things, but it doesn’t happen as immediately as people think. It takes a long time to dismantle something. But once it starts to happen, it can happen very rapidly.

The first XDA and Compaq smartphones in 2000 were not disruptive, and I could do more or less what I can do now (Internet browsing, email, social connection, VoIP, weather, traffic, agenda, travel tickets, etc... and I also could talk to other phones) OK, data was slow, but It gave me enough 13 years ago. Why they were not good enough to be disruptive? maybe data rate and not a very user friendly interface. You also had to use a plastic pen. Apple made the difference (as it did with the iPod for portable music) with a fair, not outstanding, product but very user friendly.

An image, leaked by evleaks in November and published on The Verge, is tipped to be the Normandy HUAWEI G700 smartphone since the Nokia Lumia-style device has no touch-sensitive buttons below the screen for navigation – typically the middle one being the Windows logo.

“It’s now unclear whether Nokia will release the handset before the Microsoft deal is finalized, or whether Microsoft will continue with the plans for the device.” said The Verge.

With Google Glass (GG) the problem is the interface. You have a nice personal screen in your top right corner but it is just that, a TV and an audio device with video return. It is like a full duplex Apple AirPlay. You will have for sure zillions of apps in the Play Store but the problem is that GG doesn't free the user from an input device (touch pad, touch screen, keyboard, keypad or similar). This is the real reason why we still need the traditional smartphone with a big screen, just because we will still need to type, swap, tap and slide on something.

Digital cameras were around a long time together with S5830i film cameras. And all of a sudden — I think it was within a span of five years — nobody bought a film camera anymore. So they’re kind of a traveling along slowly and boom, it’s gone. I think laptops and desktops were going along pretty smoothly, and all of a sudden people stopped buying desktops. And so that’s the kind of thing that happens.

The California-based nonprofit foundation joined Deutsche Telekom, Spain’s Telefonica, South Korea’s LG, US-based Qualcomm, and Chinese manufacturers ZTE and TCL/Alcatel in creating an Open Web Device Compliance Review Board.
