> own special operating system Codex / We might however release an unsupported SDK for best developers
That's disappointing. I assume "best developers" means corporates. I'd have hoped for a fully open SDK as you're not able to use anything from Android etc. There's probably no end of utilities solo coders would piece together. I'd probably be looking at whether I could make a few apps myself.
I'm a little disappointed at no lighting, it's made a big difference to my eReader. No doubt LEDs would add much to cost.
- sandsmark 10y ago"best developers" was a bit tongue in cheek, it was late and I didn't have time to come up with good wording (I'm not a good word person). but what I tried to convey; we know that even _if_ we can release a toolchain, we can't deliver a full, polished SDK. so "best developers" was more about developers that don't need any hand-holding. but again; we can't even promise that we have the time and resources to package up a usable toolchain for third-parties.
- michaelmior 10y agoIs it safe to assume that it will be possible to update the firmware on the device so that some updates will be possible after shipping?
- sandsmark 10y agoof course, one of the nice things with modern hardware is that we can deliver more features after shipping the device. edit; also, it is a device connected to the internet. not supporting updating the firmware would be extremely irresponsible from a security perspective.
