Now Duval has released up-to-date information about the project. The mobile operating system has arrived at version / e / OS 0.7. It includes the / e / Android Application Installer, which is capable of installing over 60,000 Android apps. The project supports the installation of 85 different smartphones. A partner is also working to port / e / to a laptop.
