Introducing the Evolution Phone
Although our intro video is a bit gimmicky, in all seriousness, we use many devices in our lives to get our job done.
The Evolution Phone aims to Merge your Desktop/Laptop world with your Phone world into one device. - One device - all functions!

As you all know, we have to use the laptop/desktop to do our Office tasks such as Documents, presentations, create invoices, use the company ERP system and the like.
When on the road we can’t do all those things as we generally only have our phone or a tablet of which, really, we only use to make/receive calls/SMS, emails, social media and play the odd game.
The Evolution Phone is an innovative approach to portable computing.
We aim to pack a full x86/x64 PC into 6” phone profile complete with all the normal functions you would expect from your phone.
Because the Evolution Phone will be a fully functional x86/x64 PC you will be able to run all the normal programs you run on your desktop/laptop on the Evolution Phone.

Many of us have experienced the problem of having to use multiple devices just to modify a file and get it to a client.
First you have to start-up your laptop, then change the file, then email the file, then get the phone out to call the client to tell them you have emailed it.
Then you have to get that file from your laptop to the computer (or network) back at the office. Wouldn’t it be great if you could do all this with just one device?
With the Evolution Phone you can.
Some of the features we want to pack into the Evolution Phone are;
- Intel Atom X5 processor
- Tri Band WIFI (M.2 Interface)
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- Gyro sensor
- 2 Cameras – Front and Back
- Screen casting
- Make and receive calls and text messages
- 4 to 8gb RAM
- 32 to 256Gb Disk space (M.2 Interface)
- Wireless Docking
What is M.2
M.2 is the new standard in peripheral cards.
We are using this standard in the Evolution Phone for both the WIFI module and the Hard Disk.
This will allow users to upgrade both the WIFI card and Hard Disk.
What is Wireless Docking?
Because the Evolution Phone is in the profile of a phone, it won't have all the normal ports a PC has such as USB, ESATA, video card and the like, so we had to devise a way for users to connect the evolution phone to the real world.
Wireless docking is a relatively new technology from Intel that allows the Evolution Phone to connect to peripherals wirelessly via the wireless dock.
When the Evolution Phone is within a certain distance of the dock, the Evolution Phone will automatically connect to the dock and give the Evolution Phone full hardware connectivity including USB ports, Keyboard, Mouse, Network and up to 2 screens.
Once the Evolution Phone is connected to the wireless dock it will feel just like a normal desktop computer.
Will there be any accessories available for the evolution phone?
Yes.
Because the evolution phone will be a portable device it won't have all the ports you would normally see on your desktop or laptop. We understand that we will have to provide connectivity to the outside world while on the road, so, along with a wireless dock for office connectivity, we also want to release a suite of peripherals that, when combined, will all fit into a small bag.
Some of the peripherals we want to release are;
What will is cost?
We are looking to price point the Evolution Phone at about USD$1500 for the base model.
For this price one would get 4Gb RAM, 32Gb Disk Space and FULL Windows 10 (Home edition).
There will be other configurations available but the cost for these will only be available if we go into production.
We would like to keep the pricing of the peripherals as low as possible as we believe the peripherals should be affordable.
What We Need & What You Get
At the moment the Evolution Phone is just an idea, but in saying that we have conducted significant research to see if it's technically feasible and practically possible and all indicators say YES it can be done!
We are asking the Indiegogo community to help us raise funds to bring the Evolution Phone to life.
The funds contributed will initially go to product design and bring the evolution phone to a prototype stage.
If we go into production, we would like inscribe the names of the first 100 people who contribute $1000 or more onto the inside of the back cover of the first production run of the Evolution Phone (With their permission of course).
We hope you will be part of the Revolution and help with the Evolution.
