I hope the GPS works better on their final product.

Thank goodness Jolla didn't do something stupid as this...No website is better than a fail website...

It looks like some kids designed Adaia's site as their assignment...Are they that broke

We need some finns here to translate this for us. Is this a troll company or a real company?

I can only recommend watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX133N1AImc (5 parts). Really worth a watch. (Kind of off topic, but a good documentary anyway)

Here is a simple translation of the main things:

So basically they are making extra durable smartphones for extreme conditions (cold, shaking, ..).

The company is formed by Heikki Sarajärvi, Rob McGarry, Jan Wellmann and Ismo Karali.

On their website they tell that Adaia was formed after they got fed up with carrying smart phones inside some rubber cases etc.. and still getting broke. They tell that their phone should sustain hard impacts and work 10 meter under water. The phone also should pass MIL STD 810G -standard.

On the website the formers tell that the phone would work outside the cellular ranges. (Using satellite connections)

They will be using android.

They have been working with BMW DesignWorksUSA (design) and Finnish elektrobit (hardware)

They haven't published the schedules when they will be introducing their phones nor when they are going to start selling them.

They got 2 offices, one in Helsinki and another in Vancouver.

sorry for my bad English

Watched the first 10mins and they are just setting themselves up to fail again...

[edit]Sorry my post was off-topic!

Working 10 meter under water? That amazing, Jussi should contact them and create a real tank phone with sailxish. I want a mobile phone that can dive with me when at the beach. Photo under water, SMS under water is a use case all human beings need. Is that working?

" ADAIA’s team, mindset, and vision is about facilitating adventure with high-end communication solutions that work anywhere on the planet, under any circumstances, with absolute reliability and quality.

The first smartphone will feature military standard ruggedness, total reach (with satellite and terrestrial reach), premium + design, and innovative security features.

The team is based out of Helsinki, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and London."

Is this more amazing than jolla? We will see...

So how is Adaia relevant to Jolla / Mer?
