Our Roadmap begins with a Smartphone and is continued with Wearables.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We want to offer an alternative to iOS and Android with three product features:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Protection of the privacy</div><div class="">- Simplicity in the service</div><div class="">- Comfortable ergonomics</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Plasma mobile seems to be extensively customisable and also to support a convergence scenario at least conceptually. We want to replace the today’s UI of Plasma Mobile and, for example, remove the dock bar. <b class="">Is there something like a launcher or Lipstick implementation we can modify in Plasma Mobile? </b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Unfortunately, PlasmaMobile is obviously in an early alpha stage. The recent version on the reference hardware Nexus 5x shows missing basic functions like telephony, short messaging or camera. <b class="">When do you believe, will plasma mobile have the maturity for a base operating system?</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The compatibility with Android would be an advantage for the market acceptance. Plasma Mobile uses Shashlik for this purpose. <b class="">What do you think is the status of this technology?</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Our potential ODM asked us which concrete source code components we need for the hardware adaptation with Halium respectively Libhybris. <b class="">Can you help us, to specify the required source code components and/or documentation?</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Last, but not least we are interested in community events of Plasma Mobile. We also think of hosting about camp for an alternative operation system. There are different open source projects for alternatives and it would be great to bundle activities of companies and communities to have a stable mobile, convergent base system for innovative products including hard- and software.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With kind regards</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Volla Developer Team</div></body></html>
