According to CTO Eldad Eilam, the basic functions of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/tag\/alp\">ALP<\/a>-based phone are finally done and dusted, so now Else will mainly focus on fine-tuning its snazzy visual effects until beta around the end of March. There&#8217;s no doubt that it&#8217;s also finalizing plans &#8212; pricing, content distribution, and remote sync service, etc.&#8211; with various partners in the US and Europe. If you happen to be in Asia, then sorry &#8212; apparently Else has no intention to visit you guys just yet, but you might get lucky if you sneak into Sharp&#8217;s factories in Japan or China. For the rest of us, we shall continuously gaze at our hands-on videos until First Else&#8217;s expected end-of-Q2 launch &#8212; we&#8217;ve got a new one for you after the break.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/first-else-hands-on-at-ces-2010\/\">First Else hands-on at CES 2010<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/first-else-hands-on-at-ces-2010\/2606025\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/else-ces-2010-01-07_23-54-20_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/first-else-hands-on-at-ces-2010\/2606033\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/else-ces-2010-01-08_00-06-02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/first-else-hands-on-at-ces-2010\/2606031\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/else-ces-2010-01-08_00-05-23_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/first-else-hands-on-at-ces-2010\/2606034\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/else-hed-01102010-1263168176_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/first-else-hands-on-at-ces-2010\/2606030\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/else-ces-2010-01-08_00-04-34_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/10\/first-else-hands-on-still-alive-and-kicking\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>First Else hands-on at CES: &#8217;still alive and kicking&#8217;<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/10\/first-else-hands-on-still-alive-and-kicking\/\">First Else hands-on at CES: &#8217;still alive and kicking&#8217;<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:27:00 EST.
