Connie14 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I know what I want for Father's Day next year, but it will probably not be in the budget. This is an interesting idea. I wouldn't care of it is Apple or Android based...http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/11/skully-helmet-pre-order/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I doubt apple would allow this company access to their software source code for the development necessary... of the 2 android is way more dev friendly, and would be the obvious choice for an upstart given a choice between the 2.

All of apples SDK's are available. Open their source code... Wow... Do you even know what source code means?! Ignorant statement to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent3012 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) The helmet hardware is running Android-based software, because as long as you're not using any of the Google services (Google Play Store, Google Maps, etc), you're free to do whatever you want with the OS. It's more a financial decision than anything to do with software platform religious wars.Skully will be releasing an open SDK to programmers to design apps to work with the helmet, and there's no reason those have to be limited to Android devices. You'll likely see an app to do something or other with your iPhone shortly after release.Provided, that is, that you have the $1,399 to afford the helmet.
