Richardo … excellent post – as always. I agree NUNCHI needs to have a strong market presence.

Everything that I’ve been reading regarding the future of CA in smart phones ( see below ) .. seems to remind me of the Early MP3 days with e.Digital’s potential.

It appears this CA market for smart phones is finally at a stage where we are seeing it printed in Black & White. This market seems …. so , well aligned with what e.Digital has been working on for years … when people were asking what is NUNCHI ?

I do also believe that a buyout can be realized …

Google has huge plans for the Moto X that could see it spend as much as $500 million marketing the new phone — but it may have even bigger plans for Motorola in general. A new leak seemingly reveals the completely overhauled camera app interface that will debut on Google’s Moto X smartphone next month. Screenshots of the UI were published by Android Police and they show a refined interface characterized by simplicity and controlled with gestures. But the real story here might not be the camera app itself, but what it means for the future of Android.

As many vendors had likely feared when Google first announced plans to acquire Motorola Mobility, Google now appears to be taking the first steps to separate itself from the Android pack. While it will undoubtedly continue to add great new features and functionality to the free and open version of Android, it will also apparently refine and build upon those features in its own smartphone division — Motorola.

What this means is that over the next few years, we may see real separation build between Google and its Android vendor partners. On one side we’ll have “open Android,” which companies like Samsung and HTC will use as the base for their own smartphone efforts.

But Google may reserve the best and most compelling new features for its own Motorola phones. The Moto X, for example, will feature various sensor-driven functionality that is not currently seen on any other Android phones. Now, these leaked images reveal even more separation between the Moto X and open Android — and this separation will likely become more and more substantial over time.

Moto X To Be Contextually Aware

This is the surprise news about Moto X, but what does “Contextually Aware” mean? Basically, the Moto X will use its array of sensors to be smarter than today’s handsets – that’s the idea. It knows when it is in your pocket, and it also knows if you’re driving or walking. This in itself is hardly “news”, since many current phones would have that capability. However, Motorola Mobility’s CEO hints that the sensors on the Moto X would be ON at all times, and they would use little power and *that* would make all the difference in the world. For context awareness to be truly useful, the sensors need to be working at all times so the smartphone can anticipate your needs… without killing the battery life

Nunchi is not a new mobile phone, not an application and many people are surprised to find that mobile devices are actually only a part of the Nunchi framework. Nunchi is a technology which retrieves data from an array of existing mobile phone sensors and uses this information to recognize, understand and affect interactions among people.

Other Smart Motorola Tricks

The Moto X, which likely will compete with the iPhone, will be the headliner of a new product portfolio that could help Motorola revive its failing fortunes.

One of the new smartphones Motorola will unveil between now and October has sensors that make it contextually aware.

Back in 2009, Google and Apple both filed patents for context-aware smartphones that would, among other things, build profiles of how users behave and tailor their user interface accordingly.

We may someday see user interfaces that rely more on voice recognition and smartphones that might be contextually aware enough to sense users' emotions.

Please see the definition of NUNCHI … listed on their website

the subtle art of listening gauging another's situation or mood

Other players also are looking into contextual awareness.

Since 2010, Intel has been working on a context-aware application programming interface that would tie in sensors with social networks and preferences and make suggestions to users. This engine was being tested in an app developed by travel guide firm Fodor's.

Microsoft Research has been investigating contextually aware mobile devices as well.

Were not alone in believing the next wave – on a paradigm shift in the CA space .

….. but

Nunchi...ahead of the curve? It's in our DNA.
