I love the lighting effects. Is that a diffuser umbrella showing up in the reflection? Is it possible that the Hotspot version will ever contain a comprehensive catalog, or would that dig into sales of the main product? Could you add a back-catalog to Hotspot without impacting sales? Can you handle phones with moving parts? e.g. QWERTY sliders like the Xperia Mini Pro, or addons like "Moto Mods" or the Essential PH-1 360 Camera. Are you in discussion with any of these "websites that let you compare the specs of phones"? That sounds like a great match. 1.5MB sounds a bit large when most phones have quite simple geometry. Where does the file size come from?

That is indeed a diffuser umbrella :) If you count all color separably we currently have over 1500 phones in our catalog. We plan to add these to Hotspot and also make sure that new phones are available on the Hotspot website close after launch. We will probably announce new releases on our Facebook page. Moving parts is something we have experience with but have not included in the current version. 1.5MB might indeed sound a lot if you compare it to a single image. On the other hand if you look at a regular 360 viewer this takes often about 10MB of data. Also we want the phones to look really (really) good. This means that we need to put quite a lot of detail into things like corners and buttons.
