The BBC have a video up looking at the Gemini (although I can’t get the video to load at the moment!). Here’s the link-perhaps you’ll have more success: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-42...ndroid-makeover

I'm trying to figure this out:

"In Linux mode, you get a higher DPI setting to fit more information on the screen, which especially pays off when hooked up to a monitor. The Android mode will simply output a mirrored screen image, although I was told they might look at offering a different display output in a future software update."

What is the distinction here? (And does this mean that on the Android side the 2160x1080 would be squsihed to, say, 1920x1080?) I'm trying to sort out how it would handle the aspect ratio change from its native 2:1 to 16:9 or, on a monitor I'm likely to use with it, 1920x1280. I've seen a video in which the HDMI output is tested (here: https://vimeo.com/237116357), which looks as if it's picture-framing it on all sides, from an Android boot.

And I hope the music chosen for the Planet videos isn't indicative of the quality of the device! (Plus, wouldn't you rather hear them saying, "Hey! Look at that! It actually works! Who would have guessed!")

That video must be quite old when taken because that is the old prototype model the new one has a much darker polished finish oldest being at the bottom and newest on the top in the picture.

Pocket Lint review

https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/reviews/...meback-of-sorts

Wow. There is apparently at least one production copy! (Am trying to temper my enthusiasm with thoughts of the three or four days I'll spend configuring mine so that it is exactly how I want it to be, and the likely discovery that at least one or two things I plan to do can't e done.)

I think that t get through FCC, CE and other testing for EMC etc it is necessary to test a final production version. Much work can be done with prototypes doing pre-compliance tests to give your later production version the best chance of success but the actual conformity test will need a production ready version.

Two things stand out from the pocketlint article for me -

1. The dimensions they state seem to be bigger then advertised on the indigo campaign page

2. The battery is now sized at 4000mah

Can we assume that it was just a hastily written article?

"It starts shipping soon - this month actually - in January 2018"
Liliputing video feature on Gemini stand at CES. Also includes some shots of the USB C Hub which looks to have 2 x USB A, 1 x USB C (wonder if it does pass through power?) and Ethernet port. The video:
