Alguns meses atrás a Turing Robotic Industries anunciou o Turing Phone, um smartphone ultra seguro construído com partes de metal líquido (veja aqui como funciona), bem resistente e com certificação IPx8 (proteção contra longos períodos de imersão sob pressão), não igual aquela merda de IP67 dos samsungs e sonys (resistente gotinhas d'água).
Bem, conforme o The Verge, a empresa está enviando emails para seus clientes que o celular irá atrasar não virá mais com Android 5 e sim com o sistema Sailfish.
Quer um Sailfish top de linha com leitor biométrico para ser o diferentão da turma? Reserve o seu por apenas 610 obamas a versão de 16GB (mentira, não dá mais para reservar).
Não está muito claro porque eles resolveram abandonar o Android, ainda mais após notícias terríveis que a Jolla terá dificuldades em enviar tablets para todo mundo que já pagou por ele e está financeiramente f*dida. Mesmo assim a Turing acredita que será melhor assim.
Ela continua dizendo que o novo sistema rodará muito bem no SD 801 pois está otimizado. E também rodará aplicativos .apk do Android. Bem, todo mundo sabe que muitos aplicativos precisam do Google Mobile Service, como o Snapchat. Blackberry também rodava nativamente .apk e nem por isso a Experiência™ não era a mesma de usar o próprio Android.
O aparelho em si tem um bom hardware (sim, fiquei com preguiça de digitar e dei print):
Algumas fotos do conceito:
Por enquanto não há nenhum material mostrando o Sailfish OS rodando no Turing Phone. Talvez seja uma tática para enrolar? 2016 será o ano do Sailfish?

Dear Turing Fans,
You will be pleased to know that we have ironed out the final development tasks before we deliver the Turing Phone to your hands. We fully expect the Turing Phone to be delivered in the month of April 2016.
Many of you have asked numerous times through our Facebook fan page as well as emailed us about our OS development. We can now confirm that TRI has chosen to drop Android and use Jolla's Sailfish OS. Sailfish OS is now running perfectly on the Turing Phone and we have started the final OS software testing phase.
Sailfish OS runs exceptionally fast on the Turing. You will not have to worry about performance issues with Turing's Snapdragon 801 because Sailfish OS has been optimized to run fast on your Turing Phone. The Turing Phone will still be able to run Android Apps on the Sailfish OS without issue. An Android application store will be available for you to download your favorite apps.
The Sailfish OS is an evolved continuation of the Linux MeeGo OS previously developed by an alliance of Nokia and Intel. MeeGo mobile software platform was created through the merging of Moblin and the Maemo OS originally developed by Nokia.
This essentially means you have one of the world's fastest mobile device running the fastest mobile OS with the capability of running your favorite apps in a secure environment.
TRI will also be hosting its first Turing Developers Conference (TDC) during Q2 2016.
We can't wait to get the phones out to your hands. Thank you so much for your continued patience and support for the Turing Project.
