it's judge of a car from Andhra 30 what's going on everybody and I'm here with David Coe with guide technologies and first question real quick it's a giant right it's not destroyed okay we weren't too sure for a second there because of the way that the characters are put together so it's a little bit confusing but yes guide technologies and it's super exciting this morning this very morning on the second day of MWC 2016 Jai Technologies announced and released rather the beta of remix OS for PCs so I wanted to sit down with of course with David and be able to take a look at some of the devices including a future tablet that we did kind of see at CES but we wanted to talk about the future of remix OS and where you think that tablet computing in particular but I'll move into other areas as well is going based upon what you guys have done with remix OS so first of all won't you give us some information about the beta and sort of let the people know exactly what to expect about remix OS and what they can do with remix OS via the beta sure in 2016 and CES we launched our first alpha release for Android PC so the interesting thing is in within a month we're getting a lot of feedback from our community so within a month we can actually quickly adding all the features that usually request it to into the beta so I'll name a couple so first of all they wanted to be installed on the hard disk instead of a USB Drive okay if they want ot a updates now that we are supporting 32 bits as well as you UEFI as well so that opens up a lot more compatibility as well so yeah we did get the the USB thumb drives from CES and a couple of our guys Jonathan fights in particular on the team has been really enjoying remix OS but from what I gathered at the Qualcomm booth which is where you guys were meeting up with me you also have the tablet obviously so I asked you a little bit earlier we actually spoke before this interview about the future of tablet computing and we use the the pixel C as an example and you had a lot of good insight as to why the pixel C even if the software wallets you sort say what you said earlier knowing that the Android space especially the tablet software is maybe not the best for productivity at the moment what do you think that remix OS is going to be able to bring to the tablet side of things yeah well I think it's a natural progression the way that we looked at the history of Android you look at way back 19 years ago when they first launched the g1 yeah it started off as a cell phone and then tablets TV and then you see wearable Android auto that's one thing in common the common thing is awful consuming content so this is the one big part of Android now I think it's a natural progression that you move into the productivity space you know it's just consuming content so I predict that 2016 2017 seem to be a big year for Android going into this space in 2015 Android launched the pixel see the way that we looked at it and said this is actually very exciting the way that some people have criticized pixel see on the productivity sides are not there yet but the way that I looked at it is Google is sending a very clear signal to developers as well as to the world saying that we are going into the prototype space so 2016 we expecting to be something good coming up from from Google okay well I love that you say about the productivity space because there have been a lot of examples recently on Android tablets about let's say the creative side and I know that Adobe Lightroom was announced yesterday as well there are also digital digital drawing applications and whatnot the main example that I can think of right now is an iPad pro with the pencil given--given Android as your back-end and the way that you're presenting the workspace with the windows and the ability to launch multiple windows at once are you going to be supporting these types of let's say CAD drawing applications or let's say it's something that Windows 10 mobile might be able to provide on like a surface pro certainly I think the way that we're seeing in tablets some of people are saying that the tablet sells has been dropping recently but we are we believe that it's actually the growing sector is the two-in-one form factor and the larger screen 10-inch above you can you have seen that iPad pro you mentioned was a 12 inch tablet and obviously service is doing well and Google with XOC so 2016 2017 it's gonna be a big year for enjoy coming into a larger screen size so how about certain case scenarios on remix OS are our applications like say for for drawing and for cad drawing and everything like that or even 3d modeling is android based on remix always powerful enough to provide that experience certainly remix OS has always been focusing on larger screen tablets larger scene form factors even pcs so in this kind of scenario larger screen for productivity is perfect for larger screen for your pan drawing multiple windows so we can have a browser open as well as a drawing application open this is actually perfect perfect scenario okay and obviously we met at a Qualcomm booth earlier won't you tell us about your do you guys have a relationship with Qualcomm now what what is what is the partnership that you guys have we have a very close partnership with Hong Kong we have built a prototype of the next-generation tablet using a high-end call comm chipset as a reference design so we're looking for sometime this year we'll be launching something very exciting okay great and I imagine that the optimizations behind remix OS will not really piggyback but rely on let's say Snapdragon processors and whatnot so is it different creating the experience of remix OS for a Snapdragon processor compared to a PC so are there any hurdles between the two because I understand that you want to have the same remix OS on both experiences the way that we looked at remix OS is we fully optimized it for both affordable low-end devices as well as high-end obviously if you're using high-end some of the graphics some of the games will be smoother but in general for browsing watching youtube browsing Facebook Twitter all this for a low and affordable PC it's completely ok and with the with the tablet that we've been talking about and you're seeing some footage of it right now as I'm gonna take a look at it a little bit more later I had a this is I thought that I had I understand that you're focusing on the larger screens and whatnot do you see remix OS moving into a more our mobile space in terms of let's say smartphones or do you think are you thinking of a different form factor at all but I was thinking like is what a remix OS smartphone version ever become a thing for you guys do you think because the whole because multitasking in and of itself on an android smart or any smartphone for that matter sir Tina so remix always we never limit ourselves in just one a form factor right now we're focusing on larger screen obviously but the key thing is I think Android has unlimited possibility I think this is just a very beginning of Android the key thing about Android is the ecosystem the ecosystem you can have apps on your phone can apps on your TV and have apps on larger screen display so it's a natural progression for remix OS to adopt to different form factors ok and ok so with that with all of that in mind obviously we're really excited to see where we make so extreme ixr s goes and I was playing with the tablet earlier and it just seems so most seamless to be able to have a touchscreen windows like interface that provides all of that and it it looks it looks wonderful I was going to say now you've have now you have the beta hour what is the next step in your roadmap for remix OS what can we look forward to in terms of release and also in terms of feature sets you know is there anything else you're going to be bringing out on the software I think the most important part is to work closely with our community one of the key thing about our companies we're not very traditional we spend a lot of time listening to our community building up our community listening to what the feedbacks are so we're gonna continue listening to feedback improving our software I think that's the number one most important thing and also sometimes this year second half this year you will be seeing a lot of partners coming up with mix OS different devices alright well I do want to make sure that our audience knows where they can find all of remix OS and also to if anything if they want to become part of the community where could the people find remix OS Android technologies for that matter so that they can join in on the fun that is remix OS the best way is to come to a website WWJD com alright wonderful you're gonna see links in the description below to be able to find all of that and I would encourage everyone to see this version of an because for years we have had this version of Android that is the recent apps screen kind of really even on tablets just focused upon just sort of the home screen experience but now it's a workspace and you're seeing the footage right now that also that we had from CES of how you're able to open multiple apps at the same time I think that I think for the most part we always knew that Android is able to open it to have multiple tasks going at once but it's never fully shown to us I think that's why I think remix is such a nice a nice step forward all right wonderful well I want to thank you again David thank you so much for the interview and I'm gonna go ahead and play around with the tablet some more okay thanks so keep it tuned to enter authority for even more about remix OS and don't forget to head on over to their site in the description these guys are super fun to hang out with so we want you guys to see what they have in store with the beta that you can try on PCs now so keep it tuned to Android 3 for even more and remember to subscribe to our channel if you haven't already so you can see even more from MWC 2016 thank you
