Jide strikes again, already achieving Kickstarter goal for 4K-enabled ‘all-in-one’ Remix IO
While 4K-capable digital media players are slowly starting to become the industry norm rather than the exception (save for Apple TVs), and you can find several of them at very reasonable prices, the $99 Remix IO is so much more than that.It’s a gaming console ...

Remix OS Player is an Android virtual machine for Windows
If you aren’t entirely invested in running windowed Android apps with Remix OS on Windows, you can have your Windows and eat your Android at the same time with the Remix OS Player.The team behind that interface (and devices running it) have made a virtual Android device that can be tailored to run on up to 3GB of RAM or as little as 512MB. The Remix layout is pasted on top of Android Marshmallow, but we guess the best explanation for ...

Jide upgrades to a tablet with the Remix Pro
The Chromebook Flip got first dibs on a windowed Android apps experience today, but if you’ve been working with a Remix Mini, Remix Ultra or cracking Remix OS onto a PC, you already have an idea of how this works.

Remix Mini drops Google services, Jide puts it on app compliance test
We were impressed with Jide’s take on a multi-windowed desktop Android experience and were happy to see the Remix Mini debut late last year. Unfortunately, it seems as of recent that Google was not.The company has had to pull Google Mobile Services (the element that makes the Google Play Store and, thus, YouTube, Drive, etc. ...

Remix OS 2.0 does multi-window Android on the Nexus 9 and Nexus 10
Multi-window on Android is no longer a feature reserved for custom UIs, with limited app compatibility: with the release of Android N, even in this early preview state, multi-window for the masses is making its impact felt. But while Android is finally getting the split-screen mode we’ve longed for, what about a more PC-like free-floating-window layout? That’s a much trickier question, and while the framework’s there, the

Remix OS for PC alpha release arrives: get your multi-window Android on
Right now, multi-window Android support is hard to come by. The best you can hope for is some special hacks from various OEMs, and even then, your options are pretty limited. So it’s understandable how excited we were when we got to check out Remix OS for PC at CES last week, promising to bring users a functional multi-window Android UI right on their existing PC hardware – just boot a Remix OS flash drive and your old PC turns into an Android workstation. It all sounded pretty cool, and a public release ...

Remix OS is about to bring multi-window Android to your spare PC
If you could change one thing about Android, what would it be? Ask a dozen users and you’ll get a dozen different opinions, but odds are good that at least one of them will be thinking about the future of the platform on productivity-oriented tablets, and the promise of what multi-window support (which just might land in Android N) could bring. As it turns out, you don’t have to wait for ...

5 cool things we missed at CES 2015
For us, every trade show starts with the same goal: we want to cover everything. Whether it’s the newest smartphone or the latest Bluetooth accessory, from the thinnest tablet to the chunkiest smartwatch – if it’s a piece of mobile gadgetry, we want to see it, film it, and share it with you.But at a show the size of CES 2015 (or “the 2015 International CES” if you want to be prissy about it) that’s not possible. Not even with a team of a hundred – and certainly not with a team of three.

Remix “ultra-tablet” is an Android-running Surface look-alike
With as many products that show up at trade events like CES, it’s inevitable that some will resemble others to an extent. Of course, there are devices that have a thing or two in common, and then there are those that veer much closer to outright copycat territory, a situation we looked at earlier today after Oppo started speaking out about the Polaroid Selfie phone and its unmistakably N1-clone of a design. We find ourselves back in look-alike territory this evening as we hear about the Remix ...
