The Day!

So, the day has arrived! How do I feel? Nothing special as such. Cos it’s not the product launch. Just a showcase. But the attention we have received proves that it is the right time for devices like this. Now suddenly many companies are coming up with the same form factor device. But again providing nothing new. May be a new name, or yet newer operating system. But where is the disruption? And where is the innovation?

When we launch and hit the market, people will see a new way to interact with devices. Adding one more dimension to the interfaces and making people ambidextrous. Ideas in the end may seem so trivial, that we might smile, but fact remains that they aren’t introduced by anyone yet.

“When you know what you want, the whole world conspires you to achieve it”. And this is something I personally believe in.  Last few weeks have opened a lot of doors for us. Got a lot of calls from BIG names who showed support and suggested future collaborations. But it’s a wait and watch game for everyone, isn’t it!

And we are after the same rule. We have some time before we launch. And we want to show, but slowly. CES is the style and ID of the product. Other events would be complete demo of the product on Android. Further events will see more product launches and our innovative UI. And before we hit the market, everyone would know about the innovations we do.

And as requested, there will be a LIVE DEMO as well. But restricted only to either those who we have promised, telecoms or people who matter most to make this dream a reality. Sharing with everyone will leak the ideas and we all know Chinese manufacturers!

As a kid, I wanted to learn a lot of things. Piano, painting, creating objects out of spare parts, SEE molecules, and what not! But I belonged to a lower-middle class family. And getting everything was not possible. But I learned what all I wanted to. And now, I’ve the opportunity to create an enabler which will realise the dreams of kids like me. One device to do everything. And choosing Android was very crucial for the same, cos I cannot be everything. And I cannot design and develop everything. The easy way out was to build on an easy platform which people can adopt and create whatever they want to.

The product will take a lot of engineering effort. But I believe it is required. If something could be done, why not do it. We faced a lot of resistance from the manufacturers about it. But everything has calmed down after the beautiful response. And adding to that, more people are reaching to us sharing about how they want to use and commercialize this device.

Every time I pray, I just say one thing “Make my faith firm”. I heard it somewhere, that’s all we need. And actually, that all I need.
