Question: Are there plans to release any new devices this year?
Answer: I’m not allowed to talk about future roadmaps, especially because we’re in the process of being acquired by HP, so I can’t say. But yes we have a road map. We are working on future devices. And… new version of the OS. So I think, you’re going to find the next year very exciting.

For the most part, you don’t need to do anything to adapt to different hardware. Same OS, with roughly the same capabilities. Just speed and memory are different.
