everybody Michael Fisher from vaca now calm still here at CES 2013 in Las Vegas here at the Open Mobile booth this is a lot of fun we stumble across this quite by accident on our way between things Open Mobile is a firm that is developing something really really amazing and that's the ability to run android apps or apps from much larger app ecosystems on much smaller platforms the possibilities include things like webos things like the Tizen things like sailfish seems like Mozilla Firefox and ubuntu mobile and it go on and on so i'm here with kevin and with lee left from open a mobile we're going to show us I I believe it's the Android version of angry birds is that correct right running on Tizen lunchbox hard here right so this is a prototype device that was given out by Samsung quite a while ago with reported our product ACL onto it and ACL allows android apps thrown on other operating systems in this case Tizen so I'm going to fire up Angry Birds you can see it's an android app to the shortcut yep there's a soft keys this is a super prototype phone so prepare with the glitch is a little bit but it it's a place pretty well this is just to be clear this is the Android versions the Angry Birds written for Andrew it but not running on an android of correctness actually perfectly amazing soup there's an intro video that we don't mind that he's not a good player of this game as you can see and there are things that are they technically I need to be ironed out like hardware acceleration on various devices I'm sure and yeah so we do have it we do support full graphics and media framework an arbiter acceleration and not on this device because it's just not available but I was sure to ask before whether we were running in some kind of emulators and like that run in an old some kind of sandbox I right to the right to the hardware so we're talking directly those sensors support officers rotation GPS nfcu narrator the way that we've developed our product is that we've really tightly integrated it with the target operating system so while you might see other folks out there that have run android on other operating systems there are no other folks out there that have done it in the way that we realized the target operating system run and our apps will run within that frame this is the Tison application manager you can see through this what we just write it takes axilla ties it up it just answers like a native n exactly we believe that that's sort of the experience of the device is that you want to run into shouldn't care i just want to absolutely right what a loser shouldn't care about what the app would is underlined what's driving the app experience well that's fascinating we obviously there's a lot we can't talk about here but they're the future for this that you guys are in our speaking tour or thinking about speaking to you obviously OMS and manufacturers and things of that sort is very any new device operators out there that are launching a new device or a new platform and would like to be talking to them that is big stuff and exciting stuff and we thank you very much for speaking with us would thank you gotta stay tuned for a lot more on this and a lot more from CES 2013 michael fisher pocket now thank you
