Prototyping a New Mobile Phone

In Jan 2014 I decided to take a break from running and growing Ayna, a company I founded 15 years, to decide if I should find VC partners to take it to the next stage or join an existing company and help grow it.

I do not like to be unproductive, so I pulled my personal to-do list, which holds all kinds of projects I would like to engage in, if I ever have time, it has things like: community service, developing (R2RAIN) Robot-to-Robot Artificial Intelligence Network, building my own aircraft and somewhere on the list a mobile phone.
