My idea of a quality Smartphone:
Small (ipod mini or nano sized),
Durable and Water proof,
long lasting battery,
E-inc (or similar) display,
Able to play music while using navigation
and
Able to play music while browsing the web.
If Mozilla can put this phone together I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
- Retr0spectrum 11y agoI'm not sure something that small would be useful for many "smart" tasks. I recon about 3.5 inches is the sweet spot.
- bobajeff 11y agoSure it would. It works for the iPod mini and smart watches.
- higherpurpose 11y agoThere's no way 3.5" is the "sweet spot" these days. Maybe for primary school students, at most. Otherwise kids want phones with larger screens these days, too. I'd say 4.3" should be the minimum for just about anyone. Phones are more compact than the days of iPhone 1, and most of them are 16:9 now, which would make 3.5" way too cramped for using the keyboard.
- TylerE 11y agoEink sucks for anything other than ebooks. Way too slow for browsing.
- bradjohnson 11y agoI think just browsing can be done at a reasonable speed, but I would think that app developers would be put off by the restrictions that e-ink implies.
- bradjohnson 11y agoIs there some e-ink display that can produce more than 64 colors in development? Even if they make the OS look decent with that small of a pallette, I don't think that the e-ink display will be attractive to people if your webpage rendering looks like garbage.
