Puffin OS promises to make sub-$100 phones as fast as flagships with the cloud

CloudMosa hasn't learned the lesson of Nextbit and will soon be Kickstarting a cloud-powered Puffin OS and a phone. It's based on Android, though similarly to KaiOS it will focus on web apps. Puffin's claim to fame is since the phone offloads computation to cloud servers, very low cost phones can outperform Android handsets that cost several times more. As proof, CloudMosa offers this benchmark on $100 phones (Jetstream is a JavaScript benchmark, so it tests a browser's computational power). Puffin technology also compresses web pages to reduce data usage. We don't mean to sound...
