SHIFTmu - Project Future: Universal Computing

Imagine your smartphone could take over all the tasks of a high-performance desktop computer! Office applications, complex video editing, complex image processing and much more. It serves as a basis for your workplace, as a notebook solution when you are on the move or simply as a telephone. Doesn’t that already exist? Yes. Via detours such as external service providers, cloud solutions and usually a large number of technologically complex and expensive devices. We think there is a better way. And we call it: Universal Computing.

SHIFTmu – Characteristics of Universal Computing

Your tablet doesn't have to be 'smart' (synonymous with expensive and less sustainable) if your smartphone already is.

The performance of a smartphone can already cover all office applications today. It just needs a bigger screen.

Peripherals and displays only have to guarantee operation and display, but not be able to calculate themselves.

A notebook would only have to consist of a keyboard and display. The computing power could also be taken over by your smartphone, which you carry with you anyway.

The reduction of our areas of application to a 'smart' device saves enormous amounts of CO2, packaging and electronic waste.

NOTE: SHIFTmu still in project status!

The SHIFTmu is our future project. The development status of this project is primarily linked to a suitable processor that can cover the requirements of the universal computing concept. You can find all information about the exact production steps on our SHIFTmu status page.

Impressions of the SHIFTmu

SHIFTmu

The SHIFTmu smartphone is the basis of our universal computing concept. It can be ordered individually and, if required, can later be expanded to an all-in-one device with additional accessories (such as a hub, keyboard, tablet monitor, etc.).

SHIFTmu - Set

The SHIFTmu is also available in a bundle. So with everything that goes with it. The complete set includes SHIFTmu (smartphone), mobile tablet screen, mobile keyboard, SHIFTpen, hub and power adapter.

First pre-order phase successfully completed!

We are very grateful that we have already collected enough pre-orders for the SHIFTmu and have successfully reached the first financing threshold. Since we would like to wait for the above-mentioned developments for further price calculation, we have paused the pre-order option for the time being. We will keep you up to date with our SHIFTmu newsletter. You can also check out our SHIFTmu status page.
