Next step for Android
Android is the most popular OS in the world and runs in phones and tablets while Android Wear and Android Auto have entered into the wearables and automobile spaces respectively. However, Android has yet to be adapted for ease of use and productivity in PCs. The idea of a productively useful Android PC has continued to remain conceptual at best.
“For Android to truly take its next step, it needs to be optimized for content creation and productivity in a PC environment and go beyond the mobile environment ,” said Jeremy Chau, Jide’s CEO said recently in an interview. “We innovated Remix OS to do just that and take Android to another level.” Remix Mini on Kickstarter Jide created the Remix Mini – a fully functional Remix OS – and will reward backers with it through its second Kickstarter campaign, coming in mid-July, in which every backer receives a Remix Mini.
The lowest starting tier is $20. The campaign will feature two versions of the Remix Mini: (1) 1G RAM/8GBstorage; (2) 2G RAM/16GB storage. News on this camp aign, including launch date and time, will be released on their official FB group page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/remixmini/) and on their website (http://www.jide.com/en/mini).
Their first Kickstarter campaign which concluded this past April, showed that Remix OS can bring PC productivity to an Android tablet. Now, Jide is out to showcase the versatility of Remix OS by running it on an actual PC. As water fits into the vessel it’s poured into, so Remix OS aims to fit seamlessly into various computing form factors.

It will connect to any screen, keyboard and mouse you have at home, in school or in your office. It lets you browse the internet, write emails, watch movies, play Android games, create documents, and run any Android app you want. Remix Mini fits perfectly at home, school or work.
