I want a "phone" with data only that runs Linux and has docking support. The average techie could piece one together now with a pi, screen, and 4g module. It can't be that hard to build one in a phone form factor. It is all open source so you could whip up correctly shaped boards in weeks. The hardest part to me is the enclosure/case to screen finish.

- bloopernova 8y agoThat's a really interesting little device! Thank you for sharing the link, it was a good review.
- Legogris 8y agoNeat! I would pick one up right now if it weren't for the keyboard layout. I would shoot myself with the up arrow between comma and dot. Would have loved to see a 60% option, which is de-facto standard for semi-minimal mechanical keyboards. I feel there's a certain overlap between users of 60% keyboards and the target audience for this device.
- splintercell 8y agoYou're exaggerating the impact of that layout decision. I use many keyboards (including ortholinear) and this is never really a problem. You can always remap the dot key to be only be triggered when pressed with super or fn key (and that can also work with shift).
