Today's news from remote Tango tidbit shores of Asia is expected to storm, but rather a small, landlocked country of Slovakia. As it turns out, the first device Tango went on sale, but probably not what you were hoping for.
Photo grew up on a computer Forum Pretaktovanie. sk Facebook page advertising HTC HD7 for sale with three versions of the software: 7.0.7392, 7.10.7720 (mango), 7.10.8200 ("Tango"). Awful thoughtful salesperson, huh?
As it turns out, the rabbit hole is a little deeper. Pretaktovanie forums are where the world caught its first glimpse of tango and its search functionality for content posted by a moderator with the name of the snake. Judging by the size and location of the Windows button on the screen, a device used to demonstrate the content search is very likely a HTC phone and may well be the same HD7, which went on sale.
Long story short, we can actually have a legitimate Tango device awaits the first interested party willing to fork over 150 euros. If all goes well, and the buyer feel Chatty, there may be a lot more Tango insight soon.
I'm almost tempted to go at it myself, but I don't think I could make it fly at the expense report.
UPDATE: that was fast — a picture simply was pulled from Facebook.
