Title: Pictures from Tokyo Meet up
Post by: jpoq on September 18, 2021, 09:18:57 am

Hi all, some updates from the meet up yesterday.
1-Accesory button will have triple function (press, long press, double press)
2-Extensive keyboard mapping customization
3-Global search functionality across the machine
4-Backup app included
5-Back covers in different colors (saw red, black, blue, silver)
6-SIM tray for 2 sims and memory card at the same time, e sim functionality still there too.
7-Slide mechanism refined from first prototypes, production model works best.
7-Astro as big as Cosmo but lighter in feel.
8-Opening has to be done with care but easy to get used too.
9-HDMI will work with PC cable only.
10-Mail App completely revamped for portrait use, as other apps too.
Overall, very good meet up, Dr.Janko was straightforward with his answers and pointed out the challenges put by pushing the project through the pandemic.

Just attached a final picture with the back cover colors available.
Cheers!

I specifically registered to say: thank you for you reporting. I can see there are a lot of excited (and frustrated!) backers waiting keenly for any morsel of information they can get

Hmm, I hope the back of the screen (with keyboard "open") will be more "refined" in a hopefully more "final" version...

I don't usually really care much about esthetics, but that was just plain ugly! :o :(

Thanks for posting for those of us not living in Tokyo, or having a private jet-plane ready and fueled for a quick trip to Japan... (And even those with that, would probably face some serious obstacles to get in to Tokyo/Japan anyway these days...)

I also think the back of the screen looks unfinished i hope that's not the final finish.
