Jide hopes to sell the Ultra Tablet at around $ 349 and should be launched in the second or third quarter of 2015.
Although the tablet hardware looks decent, but rather banal, the operating system is what makes this so special unit. Jide was founded by three former Google employees, and while Remix OS is a heavily modified version of Android, it offers support to the Google Play Store and other applications of the technology giant.
Currently, Remix OS is based on Android 4.4, but the team plans to update the OS to Android 5.0 in the future.
In addition to selling its own tablet, Jide Remix OS hopes to sell licenses to other manufacturers , which means that you might see another hardware with a Windows clone, but Android in the future.
