So unless you're suggesting that MAGIC happened, I'd back up your statement with something outside of a biased opinion.

The Cerebra is completely different from traditional controller systems. It is an app-based device, and much like what the iPhone did to the mobile industry, the Cerebra will set the stage for a new level of user functionality and interactivity. What other controller will be seamlessly plug & play for any and all devices/apps. What other controller will prominently feature Android-based app building function? How many controllers are still limited by their 8-bit CPU?

Cross your t's and dot your i's buddy.

Sorry to the OP for derailing the thread.

Wow, somebody fell out of bed this morning. Thanks for the un-biased post though.

Maybe it was just residual parnoramal energy posting?

Okay!

... But the Cerebra is not a GUI device/touchscreen overkill/whatever toy for rich kids and their Nemos. It is a complete aquarium manager and hosts all the bells and whistles commonly associated with these equipments. There is not a lot of information out there about this product, but I assure you, the touchscreen is merely the most visible portion of the platform. There is a reason it has a 32-bit processor over the standard 8-bits that you see in other systems.

At the risk of hyperbole, I would press that the Cerebra will do for aquarium controllers what the iPhone/Blackberry did for personal communication devices.

Oh God, Android is great, you're just upset that you still own a BB. I would consider it a great feature if it's Android based.

actualy any of the app based phones have good apps and its not the android its self I am worried about but rather its popularity with its brainwashed owners. the apple iphone has been having virius issues with apps and now its moving on to the android. now it is a slim to none chance that this would be an issue with a aquarium controler as there is nothing realy to gain by infecting it, but the possibility of something getting screwed up and possibily messing things up with your tank are pretty scary.

I think that even if it is a app based set up you will only be allowed to use there apps and they won't be open source like a lot of the android ones are.

But with Android, which is open source, anyone can write an app, it's not restricted to the vendor. And if needed (assuming it's anything like a phone), you could reload a backup of your ROM in 5 minutes. I personally would think it a good feature to be Android based.

This is going to be one of the main selling features of the Cerebra. Custom App availability will be subject to review prior to availability to end users to prevent any issues with system corruption.

Isn't this moving away from the open source concept? One
