- batoure 7y agoThis project is clearly still super early days but looks very cool. It feels to me like these phones have very different audiences.
- wryun 7y agoThey've already shipped dev kits (like Purism), and they're building on a platform they already understand (previous ARM boards). They've also made what I think is the sensible decision to focus on producing open hardware, and leave the problem of software to the community. Why do you say they have different audiences?
