Too good to be true?

Wow looks like a bullcrap goldmine!
using someone's archlinux screenshot...

take a reaaaallll good look at both pics side by side...they are the same desktop....exactly the same in fact.
hell...they didn't even bother to change the icons...let alone the date...

Total crap.
Good find Dave...[sigh] ...

Let's talk about this picture and how much wrong there is here:

http://www.linshof.com/img/tablet/LinshofTablet2.jpg

On the top, that's the GNOME3 system tray, which is only confimed by someone on Reddit sharing someone else's GNOME3 setup on Arch Linux, the picture of which Linshof stole. On the desktop, there's a couple of instances of Conky (clock, system monitor, TODO list). Nothing wrong so far.

But look at the bottom, past Docky and the notifications (which we'll get back to). That's a 2nd system tray. Why in sam hill would you need 2 system trays? The bottom one has a few options, but all of those options can be done with GNOME3's dash alone. Also, let's not talk about the extra clock in the bottom system tray that shouldn't be there. That's pretty fishy on its own, but moving on.

There's this picture at the bottom: https://www.flickr.com/photos/linshof/15683430210/?rb=1

That looks like Windows 8 Metro to me. I have never seen someone make a GNOME3 extension that changes the dash to a Metro-like ordeal (sidenote: if someone has, I haven't seen anyone masochistic enough to install that on their desktop).

So far, it's looking like a mishmash, a collage, of things that resemble things that are popular in one way or another, so we can pretty much deduce that this thing's fake.

I get that they advertized this "product" to have a high-end screen, but why include "high-end screen" in your specs? That's weird to me and would seem like something most tech companies wouldn't do.

Also, their webpage is a Tumblr page. Idk of any legitimate tech companies that would make a Tumblr page to put their business out there.

EDIT: I said I would get back to the notifications. Notice that there's a notification that tells you what the weather's like. Why would you need that if you could use a Conky script or even a GNOME3 extension to do exactly that?

Shipment of fail?

A (supposedly) Europe-based company looking to ship their product to Europe after shipping to Asia?

Welp, advertising their fake product as a Chinese knock-off is one way to make it more realistic, I suppose.

I have just created a new device to insert inside your n900...

At a modest cost you too can have yours today.

Contact inquiries to a dooble account in the grand cayman islands only.

To me linshof sounds more like chocolate brand...


Mercedes, Audi, Linshof...German quality :D

Shiny surface. Cr@p underneath ;)

Re: linshof - New mobile Vendor
 

You can't play ketchup with linshof. They are way too far ahead.

I don't know about Merc or Audi. I have a VW and can say it is quite the opposite: the style is cr@p but the quality is outstanding.

German chocolate is at least four levels above anything produced in the UK, BTW :)

Re: linshof - New mobile Vendor
 

Whatever .... Btw german choclates are good i like that dark choclate i got a couple of times ;)

Would be perfect. Replaceable modules without option to buy another/replacment module :D Jolla-style...No thanks!

Maybe its better if Nokia steps up and give them some funding...Both are located in Espoo after all.

Jolla can provide SW and stay as far as possible away from the HW...
