Now that we know the hardware connection for The Other Half, there are many types of "other halves" that can be created. FM Transmitter, TV Receiver, Keyboard, LED/LCD, etc. I can't wait to see what APIs will be available to link TOH to the Jolla phone.
Many might be disappointed they waited until this long to reveal this but if they hadn't some other device manufacturer with more money and more engineers could get together and implement the same thing, get it to market sooner and then Jolla would look like the copycats.
For those who don't mind thick phones I can see multipurpose TOH that will be able to do amazing things.

The bandwidth of i2c is pretty neat even for some decent framerate for an animated grayscale image, not to mention the obvious uses for a static image that you can load up there without it ever consuming even uW of power to maintain

So, you're referring to the latest/greatest eInk display tech I assume...*
You think it has sufficient bandwidth & other attributes to accommodate such tech?
*not some second grade offering

What do you consider first grade and what second grade?

jalyst, do the math.
3Mb will be enough bandwidth for even some descent frame-rate.... Which would defeat the purpose of low power screen anyway

All times are GMT. The time now is 23:34.
There's something else too: I've no clue why I would want a twice as fast PC right now. I don't game often, and many other intensive tasks are better handled by GPGPU's anyway these days. There's little which would benefit from the extra speed.
I wonder if we're getting to the same point on mobile: cpu's simply being fast enough for everything the software throws at them. They are even powerful enough for a decent desktop. So, to get back on topic, I think Jolla is doing a clever thing by using a fast enough CPU, and instead focus on something new.
