Sneak peek of the Mecha Comet, your modular Linux Computer #embedded #linux #hardware #handheld #portable #computer #opensource #gamepad #keyboard #breadboard
but the title and the thumbnail sucks; it's 3am and I clicked it out of curiosity, and even though I saw an interview with them before, so I had the idea of this device burried somewhere in my mind, for the first couple of seconds I was expecting a gizmo for stargazers.
If you get this 5g/cell certified and can make calls, texts, and run signal, then you have a HUGE market disruptor! Linux based, repairable, privacy oriented phones.
I don't think this really disrupts the market though. It's cool but what market does this disrupt? Definitely not the mobile market. Very cool looking product though.
@@farhanhubble they can easily make this via either SIM modules or UBLOX modules, very easy to integrate those. But pretty much everything Cell related is proprietary so idk about privacy.
@josephdipietro8937 arguably yes. But much more open, repairable and versatile. I saw a price of 159 in the comments. Which is not that expensive in my opinion
@@SRC267what are you plans for wireless receives, transmitters and other connections than the keyboard one? This looks like it could be a much better version of m5 cardputer
If this becomes a thing, I am in! Exquisite industrial design. Great for keeping a phone for just what it is supposed to do. Excellent stuff. Get the pricing and the distribution right. Even a premium is acceptable for this. Make it happen. Fantastic product, much needed in present scenario.
This team just gets it! It's been a while since i saw an ad/ marketing material that's so consistent with the design choices and aspirations of what product the company is selling and is yet so classy. Love the whole retro futuristic style reimagined and also, kudos to you for getting a bit of a luddite person like me interested in smartphones once again.
While I'm almost definitely going to pick one up as-is, a variant with a 4g or 5g modem (especially if we could have call/sms support) would be something I would go absolutely nuts for
Great job on managing project requirements and scope. IMO this first release really hits the sweet spot for initial release. Congratulations on a great release and product!
This is the new wave and future of mobile devices, handheld form factor… I’m expecting great things from this company and look forward to their products when it’s finished and ready for launch ❤🎉👌
Cool device. I love that the terminal is a shortcut. I can see myself writing my own scripts to display my own widgets. If you ever support cellular service, I’ll replace my phone with this.
This is one of the neatest things I have seen come out in some time! Dont know what im using this for but im really excited to see what the community makes of it. So open source and full of potential!
My main complaint would be that the keyboard is on the narrow end of the device, but with it being swappable I could easily make my own and have a funky, upside-down T shaped device with a wide keyboard. Truly customisable and flexible to the user's specific and personal needs!
imagine the endless possibilities with it for me I am a photographer whenever I am out for the mountains for week long adventure hiking 10-12 Km daily at 4000m altitude Caring a laptop just to transfer photos from camera to ssd is really, I can use it to transfer photos, or someone who really likes to listen high quality music If a HI-FI audio module with 3.5mm and 4.5mm jack or maybe a hi-end audio recorder,
Great inspiration! - have the 2nd Gen of the Gnarbox for my video and photo stuff, which is really good, but the vendor went down 1 or 2 years ago without notice. This could absolutely replace it! Now let‘s go and give people the opportunity to offer pre-composed install-packages!-)
The module section need more depth/recession otherwise it would feel uncomfortable to hold bulged up input modules, adding scroll wheel on side much help and feel fun to use too.
Very cool project. I would suggest putting LoRa radio chip inside. You could interface with off-grid messaging systems like Meshtastic or even large IoT networks like Helium or control other devices with this type of radio directly (drones, robots, sensors and various effectors). I don't think this needs 5G as 4G is probably more than enough for device of this caliber, more cost effective too. After all this is not meant to replace a modern smartphone. This is a tool for technicians, makers and people that would like to show proverbial middle finger to our corporate overlords ;)
Mecha i know nothing about you or your company, but if you can bring this render to life without any major compromise you will build a very nice community and with a product like this i hope you can also work with the community and their suggestions for modules. Or providing and encouraging a way for people to make their custom modules. This could be the start to something beautiful. Im looking forward to see how this pans out.

For your SEO team: this is way better than any pushed ad, i appreciate it showing up organically.
I subbed to find out more

Seo doesn't look after TH-cam fyi, it's Google search.
@@OllieWWillie wrong. TH-cam SEO is a very real thing
You don’t have to direct compliments towards a particular section of a company, rest assured the CEO will be sure to take the credit

Truth
Wonder if there are any third party cellular boards that are pre-1:00 certified?
Also add that the battery life has to be decent. A day would be nice.

With an clickwheel input module the perfect open replacement for an music player
😂 same
2tb of music
It’s a bit bigger and probably more expensive than an iPod lol
@josephdipietro8937 arguably yes. But much more open, repairable and versatile.

@@josephdipietro8937yeah but this way your cellphone becomes an iPod player
this is amazing, so many possibilities for the attachment as everything's foss!
An aluminium body/frame option on this is a must!
that would ruin it. what is the usefulness of "fanciness" in electronic devices? simple is better.
@@Giovanni-q5q plastic is fragile
@@cat-le1hf good plastic is not, and absorbs better eventual impacts.
@@Giovanni-q5q People enjoy the feel of metal vs plastic.
@@cat-le1hf There is a broad array of plastic tensile strength - try breaking something make of Nylon 66
This needs a kickstarter, would be very successful!
They have it already btw, just google it
KS in march
@@SRC267what are you plans for wireless receives, transmitters and other connections than the keyboard one?
This looks like it could be a much better version of m5 cardputer
It will fail, it's just another scam device.
@@Larimuss4G model is in the roadmap
Love the chunky, nostalgic design feel that you guys brought, Love the practicality. Bring it to India
arent they based in india?
@@SambitBiswasYh the ceo is Indian guy
they are from baroda
India is already poor we indians can't buy these. Our daily supplies are more of a priority than these useful gadgets
This will be more of a one-time purchase@@Twentizz

There’s no use of it genius
Incredible technology and craftsmanship. Kudos to the entire mecha team!
Craftsmanship is nought here, all rendered models nothing physical yet.
@@crumbopulis we have some youtubers such as ETA prime made some videos about the Comet, check them out!
@ just looked at some footage of the builds at CES looks really cool! I dont even know what id do if I had one of these things.
The swappable keyboard and other modules tickled me in a really good way. What a stylish device
if this thing is capable of phone and sms functions, I would love to buy!
this seems to be what I have wanted.
same!!
It's not a phone. No built in GSM/LTE functionality in this model.
Although right now these model don't support but they will release lte support one in future
There's already a 'Light Phone' for what you are asking.
@@udayshome1793 a Light Phone is a bare minimum device. You can run games, browsers, etc here.

I'll buy one when it's available just to support you guys.
send me one to support them even more
me too lmao
Idk much about yall but seeing this teaser and reading the comments
I have a pretty good feeling!
Subbed!

its like going back 20 years. it is the past
something actually good in CES this year
This is great. I’d use it.
I love the device AND the soundtrack.
Yussss I’ve been thinking about Linux mobile devices for the past year and this makes me so happy to see
I've been a big fan of these modular cg concept designs for decades!
Would love to see one physical model hit the public market!
THIS IS REALLY A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. im excited for this
We're thrilled that you're excited about this, and your support means a lot to us.
Cool device. I love that the terminal is a shortcut. I can see myself writing my own scripts to display my own widgets. If you ever support cellular service, I’ll replace my phone with this.
I like the design of this thing!
I love that this is being developed in India. Those guys work hard. As long as this software is open source, I would feel comfortable getting one.
This is exactly what ive been wanting
I love your project so much, and I hope to your project get improved and get bigger. My English is not well😅, I just love you and your project.😍🔥
I had watched a reel about this a week ago, saw this on my feed now. Blown
This is one of the neatest things I have seen come out in some time! Dont know what im using this for but im really excited to see what the community makes of it. So open source and full of potential!
I wish the bottom section was recessed so that when I attach an accessory it lays flat with the screen!
yesss, looks really uncomfortable the way it's not
I love the feature where every time you flip the attachment, it cycles between io pins, game pad, and keyboard.
Super excited for the entire product video 🎉
Loving the design so far
Cool design guys I love it
I would buy! I will definitely buy it
The free world is crying out for devices that are designed to run open source. Well done. I love the modular and retro look. It looks like a winner 👍
Mis respetos para su dispositivo, todas las posibilidades que puede desbloquear. ¡Saludos desde Guatemala! 🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
nice, had no idea what it is and came back with more questions so now I can't say I want this. thanks for helping me manage my desires youre the best
obsessed with this concept
looks so awesome!
This looks fantastic!
Great Showcase in public , now a 3d demo love it.
Finally, the tricorder I have always wanted
That thing is incredible looking, please bring it to life.
I absolutly love this thing
just found this today. curious on possible applications. very cool
Being a system engineer myself, I will definitely buy this. I was in as soon as he said open source.

And yes, the audio idea is also very good - I see a fellow genius when I read this!-)
Why would you carry a laptop with you for? Why not just get an SD card that can store more photographs each time?
Get 10 sd cards, problem solved
@@skrotosd Makes more sense. 10TB total. A 4K image is like 24.9MB. A single image. Imagine a video.
I love this multi-tool looking design. So many uses. Looking forward to seeing what comes from it. I would love to do something with it myself!
1:02 "Quick Seetings"?
Sit down quickly…
Did I stutter?
@@SenorGonzothat would be seatings.
@@MuscarV2swapping vowels that much feels too slow

Beautifully made video.
Would be nice to have a good quality analog audio output on this thing but other than that it looks awesome.
I'd buy this in a heartbeat
Great Efforts....Amazing 👍
Thanks
This is absolutely fantastic! Day one purchase from me if/when it comes to market!
this looks so awesome
Looks amazing, if there is support for international E sims I would adopt it over my iPhone
I got to fiddle with it a little bit at CES Unveiled, this thing really is a cool product. I'm excited to see what more comes out of it in the future!
I hope you can get this to market!!
Loved the idea, will surely get one when its available. Hope they ship to India.
Fun fact: it's made in India
@@kaushalrohit388 What ? where ?
Its an Indian company with a base in US!
@@biswajitpattanaik8268 he knows it's Indian, how do you think this comment section is full of Indians. you all are marketing this device
Seriously excellent product hope I can buy in India

0:28 this sound + this music reminds me of the satisfactory scanner its all I can hear haha.
Well played. New subscriber ✌🏻
Oh, this is amazing. I like the clunkiness amd the vision about this. Very unique. Make it a proper, ACCESSIBLE starting price to get more customers.
Love the modularity.
This looks awesome tons of potential
You guys are awesome
omg chunky smartphone with PHYSICAL KEYBOARD that is MODULAR??? holy shit, I hope you're going to be HUGE, this is so insanely cool
Great work guys keep it up
The sheet potential of a device like this would be near unlimited. I am looking forward to the future of this.

Amazing product. Love the idea and execution
I would've appreciated seeing animations for how the hardware interacts with the UI
I like minimalist style - like touchscreen with CMD combined!
It's revolutionary and also nostalgia. I want my physical keyboard back😢
This looks interesting
I'd love to see this have an e-ink screen, and good speaker.
I've always wanted a dedicated, distraction free audiobook and podcast player.
Looks like a cool toy.
Perfection. I'll get one.
retro gaming is gonna hit hard with this one
this is something i would’ve fiddled with for hourrrss in 2009
this is AMAZING! I want one and dont know how i would even use it in my daily life.
Suggest creating a desktop version of the Linux flavor used on the phone to create an ecosystem. Very cool product!
I NEED this with the keyboard attachment
Cool stuff, hope its affordable
God i love concept tech products
A perfect device to get excited about, buy, fiddle with for a few days, then forget in a drawer
Love the idea of a modular distraction free long battery life secure phone that is 5G capable and also has the ability to run all the necessary apps.
I don't need it... But boy do I want it!
Frankly, very cool. Subbed because im interested in where it goes.
Yo Guys, check out the description!
It's a modular Linux computer. 🤓
Read... Y'all ...Don't miss out !😄
Anyone else notice the typo? "Quick Seetings"
😂😂 you can change that too.
Close enough, welcome back blackberry
This Is all I want my phone to be. I’ll back this all the way dude
Can’t believe I clicked on an ad.
