    Swiss Info[^]:

    Apostrophy AG, a software startup founded by mobile industry veterans, is headed to Davos this week to unveil a smartphone operating system that puts privacy first.

    Works like clockwork?

      IF it really is that good... I suppose they will get bought, put in a drawer and forgotten for a while.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

              If the OS really does put privacy first, then that means that advertisers will be put last. Therefore the OS will be unsuccessful.

              The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

                Not necessarily. If licenses are cheap enough, and customization of the O/S to specific hardware is easy enough, the cost could be absorbed as part of production. The phone OEMs get nothing from advertisers. All that revenue goes to the social media and search engine giants, with a trickle to website owners. The main drivers of Android use by OEMs are (a) that it's free, and (b) that it's based on Linux, so getting developers to customize it is relatively easy.

                Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.
