Why this man is worth listing to.This man has finally done what everyone has been saying needs to be done.
He has one operating system (and it is a full OS) that is light enough and configured well enough to run on ANY computer device that has a 2013 current processor of whomever's variety.
Now, having done this he has set a benchmark
that Microsoft must meet to be seriously considered.
When listening, please remember this man comes originally from South Africa, he lives in London now and he could give a flip about the USA's historical preferences in software/hardware.
When he talks about the world this and the world that, he is really talking about all of Europe, the Far East, Russia, South America, Africa, Indochina, the whole civilized computing-based world.
And he is talking about things that are real, physically here, today. This is not about vaporware, it is about realware. That is what makes him worth listening through his full presentation as we don't get realware talks very often out of Microsoft or Intel.
He ALREADY HAS the backing of Linus (linux), Linaro, Dell, Lenovo, IBM, HP, Google, etc. etc.
He HAS DONE THIS already, his tweaks are already part of the 3.7 & 3.8 kernel and he is part of the reunification of Linux and Android that you keep reading about (which is just about done now, BTW).
The fact he is going to be offering a full service any device OS is noteworthy.
He is the pioneer, the ground breaker, the visionary.
Microsoft has acknowledged him by making their Win8RT hardware & software so you can't load his stuff on their overpriced surface tablets (and by doing so laying themselves wide full open to a new round of anti-trust legislation in Europe and the USA accordingly).
He is the Steve Jobs of open source. What makes him different from Steve Jobs is he doesn't intend to rape your wallet to give you real innovation.
(his stuff runs on an Apple too, BTW. You can ask his phone verbal questions and it will answer you back, you can also ask it to read you an electronic book and it will do that for you too. Verbal driving instructions, no sweat. Anything Google can do, his phone will be able to do. Software upgrades will happen seamlessly at a touch when new stuff comes out)
If the world of computing does indeed become unified, you likely have this guy to thank for it.If you eventually see low cost superphones that will seamlessly automatically connect you through any nearby available open wifi system
before going over to your cell tower connection and burning expensive plan minutes, you likely have this guy to thank for it.
With his easily tweeked completely free phone/tablet/computer OS and cheap open source hardware from countries where the people DON'T like to spend money, the cheap/free but good stuff that is impossible to bring about here in the USA will take place anyway.
Since I am never ever away from a free wifi connection (got it at work and at home) I will be looking eagerly for these sorts of cheap open source phones to arrive.
