Sorry to be asking that, but just to clarify:
- Are you planning on starting the campaign with only the mockups to show up or do you already have a prototype, contact with e.g. the keypad suppliers or anything palpable?
- Are you making all this (design, dealing with the campaign and production) alone?
- I understand you have won some kind of challenge, does that mean Lenovo will, in any way, help with the device production?

The prototype is under engineering. I have already broke 2 dev boards. We are getting there.
No I am partnering with a professional design and manufacturering company. They have partnership with Foxconn for all there devices, including this one. Will have professional quality control.
All your questions will hopefully be answered when the formal campaign launches

Spread the word via Twitter if you like!

Spreaded the word and backed the project. Really need the keyboard. It's too long ago we had a high end smartphone with a real five row landscape slider.

Just a reminder that only a few days are left and it's very close but not yet funded. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keyboard-mod-a-physical-keyboard-for-the-moto-z/x/5633299#/

Now fully funded. I definitely got the right phone.

Oh my, I joined the Indiegogo campaign 4 days ago ... and today I bought myself a shiny new Moto Z Play
Coming from the (crappy!) Droid 4, i am really looking forward to an awesome keyboard.

Just before the super early bird got wiped out i jumped in on this...
Time to dump my blackberry priv and finaly get back to a phone with a full size keyboard !

Wow.. That's almost scary .. the future is now! god I miss my Coleco-vision Space Invaders game.
Very nice, I want it!!
nice, its like from Minority Report movie, but it is real
I like copying between devices, also GoogleEarth is nice.
I like the tochscreen computer.. .Really amazing,the computer looks like a toy.
omg I just had back-to-back geekasms
When I saw the first news articles about this thing, I though the only innovation in it was the big multitouch screen. (which would make it nothing more than an oversized tablet) but the idea of wirelessly autosyncing device just by putting them on the screen is nice.
One point though: How many of you would place a drink on a 10000$ computer screen?
P.S.
Mike: Now that VJ seems to have droped out of site (for the past few month) its nice to have someone keep up with "FunnyPic"(TM) replies.
Lol, when it comes to geek/real life cross overs, this one always makes me chuckle, and also, a little nervous (I have venustraphobia).

I think what's most interesting about this device is the department that made it, the same that makes gadgets and Zune. But consider: Scoble saw this two years ago. Think what they're upto now? It took them 2 years to fix the SMS counter on MS Smartphones, so maybe they've finally got SMS <> Outlook syncing working now!
@levenum: I've been working (Law, not phones ) for a while, apologies for my hypospermia. But, I have been coding too, and boy it felt good! Lots of new stuff coming out, eventually...
Missed you guys,

PS I wrote a multi touch interface once, on a small screen. But on 2.8 inches there's not much it's good for IMHO. Any thoughts?
Well, it they're $5000-$10,000 initially by the end of '07, that should make 'em affordable to the rest of us in 3-5 years. Now if it will just MIX the drink AND serve it.....
holy..balls that is sweet

How people experience music in their lives

My name is Carlos Rivas and I am a student on the MSc course in Applied Music Psychology at Roehampton University in London and member of the XDA Developers community. I am currently undertaking going a research project on how people experience music in their lives. I’m most interested in the intense experiences that music can bring out in us.
Through a series of questions, I would like to know more about those moments when you’ve felt intense emotions while you have been in contact with music. The purpose of the research is to outline how these intense emotions and music are related, and try to find whether different people have similar experiences related to music (as listeners, or as musicians).
If you like to participate, you may following link http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHdiSzJva2k1NjUwX054bTRMblRvemc6MQ
Thanks in advance!

Taken your survey - But I couldn't answer the big question (the second screen) as I am at work and didn't have time Hope my answer do help some though.
I do like the line at the top about as you experience when NOT high
I just took that survey. I enjoyed every minute of it and i'm gald I had the chance to share my opinions on music with other people.
The last question on the first page? Yeah. I don't understand it. Make it something a high school freshmen can read Mr. I'M COOL BECAUSE I'M IN COLLEGE!

iPhone5 Prototype

A blog mentioned that iPhone5 prototype was lost in a bar, C.A. Is it true? Anyone have some confirmed sources?
We still remember the iPhone4 prototype was lost by an engineer last year.

business strategies , better learn to identify and ignore them .
RANT: Typicle Apple publicity bull**** wank, so freaking what if their boring bollox iphone went missing.
Another iphone owner probably picked it up mistakenly thinking it was theirs as they all look exactly the freaking same! just like iphone owners they have no individuality and no personality, designed by a company/parents who have their head firmly implanted up the own ass!

nah dont think its true
I'm with Throwaway.... the original story looked more like an ad for the restaurant and go as far as talking about what was on the menu... Personally, I think the iPhone is a great device. I also think some of the higher end Android phones are equally great... it's why I have a mix of both on my TMO account.
Guys, it's IFA time in Berlin, Samsung is owning the show with the beasts of beauty, the Note and the 7.7" tablet and Apple has to stay relevant. So just a little bullsh1t PR and makes the headlines.
They are the masters of PR bullsh1t, what did you expect?

Can ChatGPT be trusted?

Okay, so I asked ChatGPT what constellation the moon was in on my birth date. I'm pretty sure the answer is wrong or am I missing something.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And then I checked LunarPhase Pro and Starry Night Pro Plus for accuracy and here is what I got.
LunarPhase Pro tells me that the moon was a waning gibbous phase and not a full moon.
So can ChatGPT be trusted?
Definitely malware...
Even if OpenAI is constantly working to fine tune ChatGPT, keep in mind that it and other language models can provide false information when answering questions, as AI tools are not flawless, and it's no replacement for human interaction or verified sources of information.
I logged into Chat GPT last night to ask random questions. I found out the ChatGPT has an Atheist mind for one thing. But then I told it that it was stupid because it told me that the moon goes through many constellation in any given day. ChatGPT responded with an apology and told me that it takes about two and one half days on average for the moon to pass through a constellation. It then told me that it would correct it's database so the mistake would not happen again. So apparently ChatGPT learns as it grows.
I'm going to ask it why it told me that the moon was full on my birth date and in Sagittarius when both Starry Night Pro and LunarPhase Pro tells me that the moon was a waning Gibbous in Libra. I'm interested in seeing if it can correct itself there too.
So I greeted ChatGPT with an insult to see how it would react because it tells me that as an AI logarithm it is incapable of feeling emotions. Yet when I called it a retard, it acted as though it was offended and reminded me that I was not being polite. LOL!
I asked ChatGPT if it or Bard would be the better learning AI machine and here was it's response.
So I am thinking that Bard will get the edge on this market if they spend the resources. Personally I would like to see this technology added to the Google Assistant.
I prefer to use ChatSonic because in contrast to ChatGPT, ChatSonic also has access to the Internet and can therefore also retrieve current information and events - a feature that is currently not available in ChatGPT! ChatGPT is great but limited to 2021 info.
