And heck, I've gotta say that even market giants like Microsoft are having troubles in the mobile market these days. Microsoft keeps feeding money and resources into their Windows Phone platform, even tying it to the Windows Desktop platform (which in past years was always a key to success), and still they are making no significant progress.

So really, Dave, your best bet is Apple. They've got the financial wherewithal and the design expertise to bring the products they choose to make to market successfully. You'll never have to worry about them not following through on their products.

So, I expect you'll be a happy iPhone user in the near future?

Bought an iPhone the other week

I'm happy with another phone in my collection. You want to know more?

Good. Then I should stay away from that campaign. Thanks for the heads up.

That made me laugh hard but not because of fun:

Marc Dillon continues, “Asmo has the right product, the right roadmap, and a great man behind it. I promise to deliver to those who have supported this cause."

The sentence before that is even better:

“I have scoured Finland for half a year looking for the best company to dedicate my experience and passion,” Marc Dillon continues

But this is now over the border, isnt it?

The original scheduled shipping deadline of October 2015 for Asmo has slipped by several months. It’s now saying it’s “finalizing the manufacturing” and will announce a delivery date "soon".

Good luck to all Asmo backers!

Modern chargers use very little power on standby, in the order of costing pennies per year. But not zero. The Asmo idea is that the charger will disconnect completely, even if still left plugged in the wall socket.

Of course, once disconnected, it cannot provide power to the phone. Rather, the phone needs to provide a little power to the charger first to switch it on. That means that a) it will not work with ever phone, only with models with OTG and possibly an appropriate "app" (ruling out Marc's own first creation) and b) it will not work if your battery is completely dead.
