Davide Guidi demonstrates the Gemini PDA running multiple Linux distributions and Android, discussing its unlocked bootloader and hardware acceleration.
planetcom.co.uk CTO Davide Guidi, filmed at the Gemini PDA headquarters in London, they shipped to first 1000 backers of 4200 from their successful Indiegogo (indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-pda-android-linux-keyboard-mob…). Here presenting 5 Linux distros, unlocked bootloader, open source at support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_Support (with more source code to come shortly to that page) hardware acceleration of any Linux distro is under development using github.com/libhybris/libhybris and planning to try to integrate halium.org to optimize the performance in all Linux distributions, to use the Android GPU, sound, video, modem and other binaries to each their fullest hopefully within each Linux distro. Gemini PDA hopes that by unlocking their bootloader, by providing the bootloader open source, providing their Linux distro images open source, letting users do whatever they want and multi-booth any OS that they would like, hopefully there will be a vibrant community to bring great all Linux performance on this MediaTek X27 deca-core Powered large and awesome mechanical keyboard phone. After having soon shipped to their remaining Indiegogo backers, Planet Computers hopes to be able to expand much further selling their phone through distributors and telcos around the world.
