So the main thing that stands out for security is the cold storage wallet, imagine a Trezor wallet built in your phone. Finney™ will have a physical toggle (switch) that will immediately turn off all unencrypted communications. Thanks to this mechanism the crypto wallet inside Finney™ will effectively be offline unless intentionally activated, functioning as a “cold wallet”.
more than that FINNEY™ devices are multilayer cyber protected, from the hardware and low-level OS to the application layer. Acknowledging the dynamic nature of cyber threats, SIRIN LABS’ cybersecurity protection is developed on a behavioral-based and machine learning Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), for proactive cyber protection. see our integrated product from Zimperium here https://www.zimperium.com/zips-mobile-ips

We will have bitcoin talk signatures ready very soon and so you will be able to try and publish with a signature matching your seniority. I see you are more than a newbie...

The FINNEY is a special device branded by Sirin Labs, it will run Shield OS, our extension to Android and will be certified by Google, same as we did with Solarin. the estimated cost of the smartphone is 999$.
you will be able to pre-order it with SRN tokens after the crowdsale.
we have several motivations for the device and token economy -
first, the token will be used to buys the device, so if the token price goes up you actually buy the device with less token that you may have bought in less than 999$.
second, there is a pre-order discount.
third, we plan to reward the community, every new device will get some amount of SRN token on the first activation of the device cold wallet.
And the most important: we are pushing towards an open developer community where developers and device vendors adopt our OS and SDK and create more devices and apps that runs Shield OS and use the SRN token. these apps can implement P2P micropayments, resource sharing, and more.
in addition, we will have few of the best d-apps in the market like status and stox adopt our SDK and come preloaded on FINNEY. these apps will enjoy one of the most important features of the SDK  - seamless token conversion between other tokens to there own token.
here is Stox announcement about our cooperation: https://medium.com/@stoxhq/stox-and-sirin-labs-announce-partnership-3c52864b9175

Hi,
Yes you will be able to pre order FINNEY with SRNs after the crowdsale.  There will be more significant usage for the token in our eco system, like for micro payment, resource sharing and more. I suggest you take a look at our white paper.
Crowdsale Soft cap is 25 M USD.

Hi, I am Lior and I am a software engineer at Sirin Labs.

To Answer some of the questions you raised:

The main idea beyond a secure smartphone with a built-in wallet and a token is Shield OS.

Shield OS is Sirin Lab's open source extension framework to Android, our goal is that Shield OS will be adopted by more device manufacturers (FINNEY is a showcase) and reach the mass market.

Shield OS comes with SDK that gives device manufacturers and the developers community the power to build apps that make use of the decentralized world capabilities: Sirin decentralized fee less network, fast micropayments, cold wallet access, resource sharing services and the SRN token infrastructure.

Developers can develop apps that do micropayments for services like mobile data, local mobile data instead of roaming, wifi, also services that are not related to mobile resource share, like: location-based advertisement in exchange to SRNs.

mine while idle - this is actually an implementation suggestion, a developer can create an app that makes use of the Shield OS SDK to share computing resources while idle in exchange for SRNs

power - yes, the example we gave about power was sharing smartphone battery power, this will require a cable connection between the devices, and again its one example of using the SDK capabilities.


I will be happy to answer more questions on our technical aspects. 

Thank you!
