Is this the successor to those pandora handhelds?
Discussion
oh nvm it even says pandora on the website
Hopefully an improvement?
We will see but if not something like this is going to rule all in time. We don't need smart phones we need small computers that have long battery like that can receive a phone call. Browser based and all the app store shit goes to fuck off and leave me alone land.
Apple is killing their own business model right now and can't see it. If they simply allowed apps to do what they do and took 10% of sales they could contain their ecosystem for a couple decades, but greed.
Same shit with taxes. History has shown when taxes are low and simple to comply with people just do it and are like fuck it, it isn't that much. Then governments prosper but get greedy and the more they increase taxes the more people avoid them and the more the economy suffers and they end up with higher taxes and less revenue and pissed off citizens. OVER AND OVER but they can't learn, it is beyond their understanding.
It is only going to get easier and easier to tell Apple and Google and all of them to fuck off over time.
I don't think I can recommend it in its current state but the Pine Phone is a proper linux computer in a smart phone package (with external keyboard supported as well as docking)

Personally I think the pine phone is most likely farther along/more refined than the pyra. But I have not been paying much attention to the pyra, my opinion is mostly informed from their less than impressive previous devices.
