A few days ago I asked them about release date. This is the answer:

Hopefully the app either supports raw image saving or they have a SDK available with access to the raw data

All that is missing now is the price.

Holy shit... is that a Windows tablet? Could it be? Native windows support out of the box?

That certainly beats the Seek / FLIR One / Therm-App in terms of platform support!

I really hope it does support Windows, however there are quite a few dual-boot tablets available (Android/Windows).

At the very least this does imply that it has support for x86 processors. This means it should work on atom based phones like the ZenPhone 2.

I've been told international availability in October.

Do you have any new info about release date?

schlafli · « **Reply #31 on:** October 25, 2015, 08:08:55 am »

New image shared by the thermal expert twitter account.

Good to see they haven't gone completely quiet.

Update:
Video has been added. Looks like they still have some performance issues to iron out:

I have contacted this company which will be reselling it: http://www.alfin.co.kr/#!thermal-expert/ci67
They said that i3system is currently preparing mass production and that sales will begin in november.
They still don't have a final price...

Thanks for the info

If they price this thing right and have windows support at launch, I can see this being a very successful product.

Why are they stretching the image??

The thermal sensor is 4:3, keep the image on the screen 4:3. Don't stretch it to widescreen.

frenky · « **Reply #35 on:** October 26, 2015, 07:09:15 am »

They should have options in the settings (perhaps they do):

Fit image:
- fit to height (black bars on the sides)
- fit to width (cropped on top and bottom)
- fit to width and height (stretched) //I'm not sure why anybody would wan't to have this option because it distorts images

Interesting titbit I just got back from i3:

We will provide Android SDK and Windows DLL for third-party developers.

That is great news!

They have put online some images with ThermalExpert runing on Microsoft Surface Pro3 (Windows 10):

That looks like a lot of settings to configure... I like that

I think too many people looked. I get redirected to an "OverTraffic" URL with Korean text.

frenky · « **Reply #42 on:** November 09, 2015, 01:45:36 pm »

Jep. Their hosting seems to be very unreliable.
I have a extension in chrome that monitors changes on their site and the site goes down at least once a week. (I get notification on every content change).

schlafli · « **Reply #43 on:** November 09, 2015, 05:33:18 pm »

The site is back up. There is also another set of images showing the various palettes: http://www.i3-thermalexpert.com/blog/archives/666?cat=10

Posted on their Facebook page

I wish they would stop making phone thermal image addons.
I want a self contained flir E4 equiv that doesn't cost $999

According to google translate the text that goes with that image says:

Registered in the Google Play Store complete!
Better features expected future updates!

Anyone heard anything new regarding the camera?

Just though I'd ask here before I fire yet another inquiry off to them.

frenky · « **Reply #49 on:** January 01, 2016, 03:37:25 pm »

I haven't heard from them since november when they said that international release date will be in december...
They were suppose to release it in Q3, but I guess that will be Q3 in 2016.

Edit:
And the only change on the website in the last 3 weeks is this page with android app user manual which you can't download...
