A British company has taken up the endeavor to make technology accessible for everyone. The start-up has launched an interface called Breezie which comes mounted on a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet. Those interested can purchase the 10-inch Samsung slate, and for £299 / $471 / €355 they will get a two-year subscription for the Breezie Hub within the price range. The interface appeals to people that don’t possess any real tech skills or knowledge. It might be the elderly or just tech beginners.

The Breezie Hub acts as a remote control service that allows you to configure the tablet without having to be in the same city or country as the user of the tablet per se.

Breezie will change the interface of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to make it look more intuitive and simple, removing all the unnecessary clutter.

Breezie CEO and founder Jeh Kazimi explained why it was time to roll out such an interface, “Humans shouldn’t need to get more technical, it is technology that needs to get more human.”

He went on to say that “unit now, there has been no solution for using the Internet that perfectly addresses the needs and concerns of an older, less digitally comfortable audience.”

The interface packs certain crucial apps pre-installed like Skype or Gmail, but users won’t see the program icons on the screen. An address book is built and when a person is online, the video call button becomes available.

The tablet user doesn’t even have to know what Skype is.

Device-wise, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 features the Android 4.0 as operating system and a 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The battery life lasts for about 6 hours, but that’s enough for a conversation on Skype.

If all this sounds appealing, you should hurry up.

Until the September 15, the Breezie tablet can be purchased for the special price of £299 / $471 / €355. After that date, the price will be beefed up to £329 / $519 / € 391.
