Jason Keats, a key member of the now-defunct Essential company has returned, and privacy is his goal.
Imagine how I felt when it was reported that the team behind the Essential PH-1 was getting back together.
What does Keats have up his sleeve? During his last ventures with Essential-a product, called Gem, which never got off the ground-Keats realized the need for privacy on mobile devices had become of singular importance.
The focus of the new company isn't to re-create the PH-1 or any of the devices Essential never completed.
Jason Keats: We are not prepared at this time to answer exactly what we're building OSOM's software team was solely responsible for Essential's regular Day 1 security updates.
