Mirasol?

Solar panels?

I guess it was still April 1st in some parts of the world when this was posted.

I feel sad reading stuff on April 1st knowing its not true. Life could've been so much more interesting

I couldn't believe how many hits I was getting for this from Google. I was sure it had to be the real thing...then I realized that pretty much every page was copy & pasted from Android Police...

It's the afternoon of April 2nd where I am already!

I would rather liked them launching their own Android tablet.

I would rather like we didn't keep linking april fools articles of other sites here, as though they were real.

[snitko → burgerbrain]

Yeah. Too many of them, it makes for a very disturbing noise, which ceases to be funny very quickly. Also, I was misled. It's already April 2 in my timezone.

It's no longer april 1st, if a link isn't marked as a joke and it is, just flag it.

this had me looking into mirasol panels which seem to be a cool tech at first glance, but they do not look very bright without direct sunlight. hope they can improve them as 6x lower power consumption is great for mobile devices.

How.. could.. I.. be.. so.. gullible? I really really believed this (I am the OP)

CALLED IT. They're doing it for sure. Next big company.

>Next big company.

They're not already?

And making an android device is what would finally push them over the edge?

Next player next to: Apple, Microsoft, and Google. They're small compared to those 3 giants and Amazon is going to enter their MKT cap territory by 2020 in my opinion.
