     There is a reason why e-ink devices are expensive: A 10'' screen alone costs $200 dollars.

     Many e-readers are sold at a loss because the money is made on the books.

     @PINE64 @hicks @Blort @kde A dedicated page that lists the specs, shows some screenshots, and has some videos actually showing it being used *would* be quite nice, though. Hard to justify $400 if there's nothing that actually shows off how responsive it actually is =)

     It's not a "non-existing proto", it's already in the hands of developers. There are pictures in the blog, including one where it's displaying a picture.

     You don't have to be interested in the device, but do not lie about it please. ????

     [RANT sorry]@PINE64 is happy to announce another unfinished and incomplete device on which you can install multiple half-assed distro to please everyone - or an excuse to not do the integration - but hey, you can open a terminal to SSH. Is there anyone who can phone with their pinephone?

     OC, no video of the note in action but hey, we have magnetic cover.

     And wtf is this webpage? No structure, mixed news...

     Don't be too excited to announce stuff when having nothing.

     I mean, OK it is a prototype but we are not even in this situation as you don't have the main and most important part: the panel.The SoC at this stage is not a prototype but a proven platform.

     Who can spend 400$ on a non-existing proto ?

     And damn, I read "Libreoffice" in the news while this one is barely usable on traditional 2012 QuadCore computer. Same mess than w/ phone: You can install Gnome which is unusable but hey, you can install it!

     It has both capacitive (finger-touch) and EMR (pen) sensitivity.

     This is going to be fun to watch. As much as I love both Plasma and Plasma Mobile, neither seem particularly designed for an E-ink tablet!

     Fun times ahead figuring this out!

     Does it have a touch screen, or is it by pen only?
