First releases of ZAKOapp will be for devices running on the Mobile OS created by KaiOS Technologies, Inc.. Their "KaiOS" is a fork of the codebase created by Mozilla. Devices running KaiOS are either button phones or flip phones (the new standard term is Feature Phone). The nickname Dumb Phone gets used in North America (on the rare occassion someone is talking about these devices) but it has quickly become an outdated characterization. While they may not be as "smart" or graphically advanced as large phones, many of these devices made by Nokia, Digit, Tecno and other major manufacturers are coming equipped with GPS, Voice-to-Text, WhatsApp, Google Assistant etc. They are powerful and cheap with incredible battery life, boasting 100s of Millions if not Billions of users.
We have many other reasons for launching on KaiOS before piloting ZAKO on Android or Apple. We plan to explain our strategy over the next few months through a variety of social channels, on our company site londonstreet.co, as well as through short stories and multimedia on zakoapp.com.
