The invitation doesn’t offer any new details on the upcoming smartphone, but the hashtag #YULaunch confirms that the Cyanogen-powered device is on the way. Micromax also teases the device with the words “Play God,” which could be a reference to Cyanogen’s many customization options. The company recently unveiled a new Themes app that makes it easy to tweak the way its software looks.

We’re still pretty much in the dark on the hardware side of things. However, recent quotes from Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma suggest it will be a high-end device. “The phone is going to be a monster,” he told 91mobiles, adding that it’s going to offer “really cool specs.”
 
Considering this fool business deal killed CM's updates on 1+1 in India...screw CyanogenMod. If they were so stupid to do that once, well...stupidity is predictable, put it that way.
 
One thing a respected owner of a big company once said. "Longevity is important and respected"

It seems since Cyanogen went public, they first went to that phone company that made the large phone, with the camera that swiveled on the top. Then to OnePlus, and now burned that bridge, and now to some Indian cell phone carrier.

The more they jump around from different company to different company, the more it hurts them, and eventually could out them out of business altogether, and make them irrelevant. They need to stick to one company, and do a great job, and stop jumping ship so quick.

I disagree. Cyanogen doesn't need to stay with just one company. They just need to stop signing exclusive contracts and offer support for as long as those companies would subscribe to Cyanogen updates. But we all know Cyanogen is a little bit short sighted and willing to burn bridges when it comes to money and ripping folks off. I hope he learns more from this negative press, but really, he probably doesn't give a damn.

His statement of global devices updates is evidence of how greedy and devious he is.
