The Spanish manufacturer Geeksphone produced some interesting features, although seen as niche products in recent years. Among these include the first smartphone to ship with Firefox OS, or multi-OS smartphone capable of running either Android or the Mozilla OS, and an ultra-secure smartphone, developed in partnership with Silent Circle , a company specializing in encrypted communications.
But after 6 years in the mobile market, Geeksphone just announced that it will stop all activities related to the construction of a smartphone. The company says it has "reached the end of a cycle" after the creation of six smartphones in its six years of existence. If the company has nevertheless announced that it will continue to offer technical support to all its existing customers, she said she will no longer produce new mobile phones.
But instead of completely disappearing, the company will shift to a new sector: wearables - mean by that connected objects. This may seem a strange gesture of the Spanish firm, as the company name has the word "Phone" in it. But the founders of Geeksphone have a solution for that: they have created a new brand named geeks me!.
Say hello to geeks Me !
The first product of geeks! Me a bracelet will be able to record all your physical activity, and thus track your number of steps, distance, and quality of your sleep. But, the bracelet will also be able to receive notifications from the smartphone with which it is connected, and wake you up gently with the vibrator and adjustable alarms.
There are not many details on the fitness tracker, but it is said to have an OLED screen combined 12 LED, an aluminum chassis, and provide support in monitoring your activity, and even "your sexual performance." Enough to stand out from the competition?
The mobile market is a difficult problem, with companies such as Samsung and Apple dominating the latter mercilessly, and other names such as Sony, HTC, LG or Motorola who are trying to nibble the remains of the pie. This leaves little room for smaller manufacturers, and it seems that Geeksphone decided to throw in the towel after trying for six years.
