I truly hope Pine phone picks up share (and performance/ functionality) so people who want this level of control over what their phone runs have a platform. A lot of people don't know how to manage their phones. I know how to manage performance on my computer but would prefer to not have to do the same on my phone. I suspect I'm not the only computer professional who wants to leave that sort of administrative detail to their work life and not have to deal with a phone that crashes due to a poorly written app. I suspect this is why the iPad is so popular. It has much of the power people expect from a PC, but removes much of the headaches associated with them. My feeling here is there is space for managed platforms such as the phone and the iPad; less managed platforms like the Windows/ MacOS; and truly open platforms like Linux. I'm not sure open platforms are very well suited to phones myself, but I'm not against them either.
