graduate 30 we're here at comp digital experience we're just talking to people from a bun team they kind of come out of left field a little bit with their operating system it appears to be function on a Galaxy Nexus think I don't really know as much as they do I'm going too fast or evil Weaver's here who's going to explain the UI and I'll press the closer glimpse of what to expect ready data team okay so over here you basically see a bunch of running on on the on the phone so basically we it's the same abundance on the desktop or on on TV and now it has a new interface optimized for the phone as well so what you see over here basically is the welcome screen and what you see here is a AP state officials ation of your personal data showing it in a very nice way giving a very personal touch to your phone a little important thing that you see is that there are no button sort of no-heart key battles no soft key buttons the whole experience basically designed around the edges today I just allow you to interact really fast and natural with different parts of the phone so for example from the left side I have to launch it basically and I can I see my dancer that used frequently we noticed that many people don't use older apps all the time and we saw that basically they use Maxim attendance all the time and I basically can launch them immediately from the left side so for example I can go to the AUSA Tom screen from there and over here at different home screens right so I the segregated a few by people of the my music also music store basically where i can buy music the people lens home the home tree in my running apps with our Father apps well and also my videos I wish I can access immediately from there so for example I go to the gallery app for example was at the gallery app is native app we both have web apps and and native app so Pedro group I could be a web service but like for applications that require better performance based we also have native apps so the galleria absolutely natively designs let's see what happens now is when you actually start scrolling you see that all the controls go away right so when i scroll back i have the header i can go to the photos i can go to events again open a picture from here and hope what we basically also wants to do is not obscure the interface with controls all the time so when you see for example have a picture you can swipe from the bottom and i have to control basically to edit the picture or share a picture viously might go back over here obviously I'm back in my app I the other thing is that what we saw is that when people want to change setting and they using app with many phones the user needs to go back to the home screen for example going to set explain the settings and we wanted to give you usually much faster way of good diving into settings so basically we use the top match for that so you basically go immediately to data time battery network for example men and we also had a messages here so for example of messages i have some direct functionality with it visco i can i reply me these deaths and if i'm done with it i can go back to my app or for example when i go to the battery the settings i can go to brightness j said pull it up a bit i'm back in my app and then right especially is for switching really fast between apps so we all sort of we've used a research that i use a switch lot between apps so for example when i go to at a camera double example want to make a picture and go back to my to the gallery app i use the right right that's right from that and i go back to the home screen and i'm back there if you happen to switch all the way from the right it just brings back the balance oh yeah plank aerosol best way between the acid ironic mr. in terms of the hardware that this can function on this is a they got original Galaxy Nexus a dual-core bhatia yessir is this still capable of functioning on even slower hardware even older hardware well it's harder now jewel because we expected when which is coming out next year the jewel for will be more than made with the low end where flower will run 49 ethically we also have the superphone where the kyboot sue will become a converse device with a lot of talk with this for a long time well we lost last year we total partners now and what we will expect is that when we launched the boot the phone will also have a possible conversion I especially where you dock it and you can eventually run a butcher from yes that's very attractive in terms of the language is there going to be any backwards compatibility with android apps or they have themselves what language was in decoded so we are talking cutie 50 there will be for the aspects the main language for the bombs yeah and in terms of when we're going to start to see commercial products with the virtue out of the box release you're looking at here so we are hoping by the end of this year end of this year yeah can you maybe shed some light on some of the partners here speaking when we are talking about partners but can't reveal that I cannot talk about oh yeah so but the fact that you're targeting or two slower hardware maybe there's no everyone knows mobile is really going very quickly in developing markets over in Asia and India and China so i right obviously maybe we can actually look at a ninety nine dollar smartphone with good performance in the near future well I mean a hundred-dollar bill of materials yeah definitely we can target side and then very nice thank you for thank you very much free time you know you're welcome we don't want to stick down Android or anything but as competition in the marketplace always a good thing
