 So we're here on the 26th of November right here at the planet computers headquarters. Hello. Hello So, what's the latest? So just a quick update. So the production is nearly over. So we've produced over 3,000 devices and We're now Fit finalizing the production this week to get to 4,000 As you know, the number of backers actual number of cosmos is about 3,100 So we're very close to fulfilling all the backers then some units will go to the distributor and Then some units are for the store. So basically You know, we're nearly there. We're over 75 percent there Go with the mass production. Everything went smoothly. There was lots of checking and stuff. Well There was there was some issues. You know, we there was some issues with quality Which we Result in the beginning, right? Yes, some took longer than others and and I don't want to go too much into that but you know, basically they are resolved so So the device is here And of course, how's the feedback the the because you say already thousands of backers have it How's it going with the feedback? So there are about 3,000 devices let know probably between two and a half and 3,000 devices that are either in backers hands in the warehouse or on in with the courier companies going towards the backers There was a lot of announcements I actually personally made three people today who have their tracking numbers today for UK devices, which is quite fun and and So that there's a bunch of devices that went to firstly to Japan then to the States Then some Verizon devices have gone to the States then some devices to Germany then to the UK. So basically and and the the the other countries will follow particularly the Nordics Netherlands Czech Republic, which still have a reasonable quantities and Unfortunately because they're the smaller editions, they are coming closer to the tail end and then there's some countries Which are really right at the tail end like Greece Croatia, etc. So which only have a few units that have been ordered right now. I'm talking Greenland They have a new Greenland language, right? They probably use the Danish keyboard there We have Danish we have Icelandic we have Norwegian and Yes, actually we So there's quite a few because once you're in the EU with the devices you can ship all over the EU So for the EU we are actually Importing the devices into the UK and then shipping them out from the UK So it's a bulk shipment from Hong Kong to the UK and then from it's from the UK We're shipping with the courier companies. So essentially you don't have to pay for any more duties or those things that That's all Project thus far you have so many keyboard options, right? How many total? Well, this is our unique point You know, we have something like 20 26 27 And you know if you look at if you look at this this is the Japanese This is the Japanese Keyboard, but you have a way you just you can you can just put the keyboards easily you can just laser What's called so These keys are actually Translucent so they are translucent and then they are painted black and then laser back to the translucency So they have to be placed in the right place Gemini. This is the Cosmo keyboard The Gemini keyboard was actually made out of us the keys were made out of special material So when you laser them they turn white whereas these keys are white themselves Then they're painted black and then they laser back to white Which is which is for the backlight which you need the transparent part is actually different for each of the 26 layouts Yeah, they're laser they laser with different programs. So basically basically you have different programs. So there's like, I don't know 1500 US keyboards laser then you know, I don't know 1500 Japanese keyboards laser And when you talk about laser it means lasering the the transparent part where the light comes through So you laser from the top so basically the laser is going from the top and it's kind of writing on the keys and basically like Cutting through the black paint so that's kind of how it works and so can you say a bit more about the The response so far. Maybe you can stand up. So how how happy are those users like is there like a It's very early days We've had some very positive remarks. We've had some concerns And You know, I think I think in general it's quite positive, but as it's too early to tell, you know, how the response is But I would think it's it's pretty good so far Of course the early users are pointing out to certain Firmware firmware troubles and we will be a releasing a firmware update Removing some of the bugs that people have found probably in about Between next week and the week after so that will impact both the outside screen and the and the The cover display and the main screen and Also within that update we will have the landscape mode for the cover display So that's so that's the new thing that's coming in. So when you rotate the device It will actually rotate to it will rotate to the landscape, which this one doesn't because this is the current firmware What's the latest with Linux? So I will let our CTO Dr. Davide Guidi talk about that. All right. So let's check up on him. Yes, we will. Let's see where he is And hi hi. Hi Davide. So you're the CTO, right? Yeah, that's correct. And how is it going with the Cosmo communicator right here? It's going it's going very good It's very interesting So on one side we Started shipping the units So let's say from the hardware point of view everything is ready and from the software point of view on the Android side We are basically there now our efforts are on the Linux side and I would like to show you as a Technical preview some of the work. We are doing at the moment and in particular I would like to show you the improvements we have done for Basically installing Linux on the device. So this is not final yet It's it's something that is working, but we still need a bit of time to iron out all the Asanding bugs and just making the UI as beautiful as possible But just for you to know We tried to and this is an Android version. I'm going to restart the unit now Just want to show you what we will probably be the user experience of how to turn Android only device into our Android and Linux So basically you reboot the unit in recovery mode you unlock the recovery mode and Then you have the recovery menu and we modify the recovery menu We added a couple of actions and the first one is how to change the partition table of your cosmo Which means how to reserve space for both Android and Linux So I'm gonna give you a quick demo. I'm not gonna do it. Otherwise, I will erase my data But of course there is a nice morning message to be sure that you know what you're doing and The idea here is you can reserve space for Android and Linux so you can reserve all space for Android 30 gigabytes for Linux and the rest for Android 60 gigabytes for both Linux and Android 90 gigabytes for Linux and something 30 gigs for Android and finally Reserve all the space all the storage for Linux. So I'm not gonna do that because I have done it But this is basically one operation that the user will have to do if they want once When they when they prepare the device But after they don't need to flash anything special This will be part of the default kind of or do you need this flash a specific firmware to have access to this? No, they will not need to flash the firmware. This will come as a firmware update and there will be the possibility to do it. So you don't need an external Computer like before like for the Gemini and And you can do it just Just out of the box now apart from this we have a second option which is Install a custom OS on your Cosmo So this will allow you to install an extra Custom OS which at the moment will be stored in ISD card. So basically you can Download the software place it on ISD card and after that you can You can basically activate it and here you can so for example at the moment in my ISD card I have three options. I have TWRP, which is the team win recovery project I have Debian and I have a root of Android version So the idea is that this will be a dynamic option. So if Hopefully in the next few months will have more options or updates So you can always download your software and to this menu you will discover new functionalities and So suppose you want to install TWRP the next option Will be to choose a boot image as a destination so the very first time if I do a If I reserve the space I will have three options, which are something like empty boot 2 boot 3 and boot 4 and Once I select in here already done it when I select empty boot 2 for example The partition name will be changed to the Custom ways I'm installing so in this time. I have TWRP here rooted Android and Debian so once this is done now the the Cosmo is a dual boot one and When I reboot the system We'll see now different UI Which is sort of similar to grab for people or to Lilo for people that comes from From the Linux world. There is an auto boot and you can stop the auto boot like I've done at the moment The your EDI is not final at the moment, but basically you can see you have different options You can choose a normal boot recovery one TWRP Linux Android and so on so I'm gonna choose Linux Android Sorry, I'm gonna choose a Debian boot and this again is some early software provided by our community But it will show you a very very minimal Linux version up and running on the Cosmo as you can see there is still Gemini as a name But this device is is clearly a Cosmo communicator, right? and If I can click on the top on the button So this needs to be a little bit optimized just for the touch screen. Oh, yes It's as I said is early days But basically what you can see straight away is that the performance on this device. I believe they are They are quite good. They are better on the Gemini So if I move for example this window around if we see that the lag is is quite minimal and is I Guess much better than the Gemini. Is it using the panfrost GPU driver? Mali, it's a good question and I don't know I'll have to come back to you Hopefully the development on the open source Mali is getting along right? Over the last year. Yes, the development is still quite much on the way So on for the Cosmo on all sides So we are expecting to see to see much more a community is very active. They're literally assisting it assisting us every day So it's it's it's all good and hopefully we will be able to do this to provide this very soon and Maybe recommended way to do is to have a little Bluetooth mouse or something like that or the type C mouse and mouse and then you yes You all set right for the Linux? Yes, maybe I'm is not a is a desktop oriented Sort of distribution so with the mouse it's it's it's pretty much easier to use rather than Rather than using tapping on the on the screen nice lots of stuff happening and perhaps also some Android updates and stuff happening also. Yes, we are working on multiple fronts and Yes, hopefully we'll have some more exciting news soon
