Since the beginning of the birth of blockchain by a programmer or group of programmers, known as Satoshi Nakamoto, in 2008, there has been series of blockchain-related hardware and electronics. The cryptocurrency's hardware wallets include Ledger, KeepKey Ledger, trezor, etc. which supports cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum (+ all ERC-20 tokens), Ethereum Classic, ZCash, Litecoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin, Dash and Bitcoin Testnet.
It is only a matter of time till a tech company ups the game by producing another hardware that would be a first in the ecosystem of the blockchain. Introducing Sirin Labs, the company behind the secure open source consumer electronics for the blockchain era: makers of FINNEY™, the blockchain's first smartphone, and PC.

Would you buy this phone when it eventually hits the market?
I'll be more interested about the ICO than the phone, seems it's going to be a good project.
Lol. Ok. Let's wait for it then.
Thanks for the tip, the potential applications are limitless so I'll stay tuned.
That would turn out to be awesome.
this is a great device but its too costly
Prices always go down after a technology has been in use for a while
People buy phones that are costlier. I guess it's for the whales
Nice one @bitfairy!
But at such a huge price, it would be difficult for mass adoption. It's basically a device for the rich.
$1000 is not that pricey, you are a whale.
Nice post
Thanks a lot
Wow firstly this is a welcomed idea but IMO I don't like the idea behind carrying your funds in your hand in a mobile phone. When your phone gets missing its gonna be devastating
Insure it.
