Thus adding further evidence to what I’ve been saying: Onda, Chuwi, Vido, Ramos, etc., are electronics companies. They are not tablet companies.
If the tablet market dies on them, they’ll try wearables, or TV boxes, or even cameras.
The same can really be said of Samsung, LG, Acer, etc., too.
Only Apple relies on a tablet. Because computing has always been their business.

Archos Diamond Tab becomes official with 4G LTE support
It has a 7.9-inch 2,048×1,536 IPS touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera, a 2 MP front-facing unit, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, and a 4,800 mAh battery. It’s powered by MediaTek’s MT8752 64-bit chipset boasting a 1.7 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU.
Archos as a company is a goddammed joke.
They’ve announced so many tablets and so many strategies and stuck their snout in so many things, it’s no longer possible for anyone with a brain to take this company seriously.
They pissed away their retail presence in America by flooding it with shitty tablets. This is another tablet that’ll never make it here. And since I don’t cover this company, I won’t see the eventual wails from suckers who buy this and find out it’s fall-apart shit with built-in flaws that’ll never be fixed.
Next!

Android 5.1 Lollipop certified for Xperia C3 and T2 Ultra (19.4.A.0.180)
I have bashed Sony again and again for its stupid moves in the eBook and TV markets.
So it’s only fair that I praise them again and again for the recent moves they’ve been making with phones.
The T2 Ultra — which is hardly on sale anywhere any more — is going to be getting Android 5.1!
Whoever it is at Sony who is making these moves deserves a raise. He’s instilling customer confidence in their phone division. It seems the days of abandoning customers — at least with phones — are over.
Now, if only the upcoming Z5 Ultra was a six-inch screen instead of just 5.5-inches! Well, at least bring the C5 Ultra to the U.S.!

I re-read that this week.
I was interested to follow-up on Joseph E. Hrudka. He became rich just about by accident and founded a company called Mr. Gasket. He was an example of someone who succeeded despite the common wisdom of the people surrounding him. School bored him, cars excited him. No one thought he’d ever amount to anything. Yet he showed them all.
Anyway, the follow-up was not a pretty picture. No Wikipedia entry, which is odd.
And this:
New Times: Gasket Case — a divorce from Hell
Biography — so brief
Mr. Gasket Inc. History — on a spammy site with a link sure to die
MR. GASKET – The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History
And yes, I recommend this book — and others by Max Gunther — very highly.
