Hi all! I made an account just to come and comment on this thread. My name is Jonne, I am the creator of Pokitto. 1. Screen orientation. Unfortunately, the screen orientation is 90 degrees to the intended orientation. Some people are more affected by this than others. Some people say its unusable, 2000+ units have been sold so most people think its usable. Other similar consoles for example Gamebuino Meta and Adafruit PyGamer have this same orientation issue. Bottom line is this: tft displays in the 1.8"-2.2" size are manufactured for feature phones and their orientation comes from that use. If the volumes of Pokitto were 250k pieces, I might be able to get a screen with the coreect orientation. But, as it is, this is the situation. 2. IPS screens. At the time when Pokitto was made, IPS in 2.0" was not really available and I am still seeing Arduino modules in the 15€ range. If you realistically think about the cost of components, you have to 3 x cost in the price to cover expenses. The TFT's for Pokitto were <2 usd at the time when the project Kickstarted, no IPS screen comes close. 3. What is the "purpose" of such a device? Its cheap and cheerful. It allows you to see the actual bits and the whole works, you have complete control of the hardware. Pokitto runs on a 36kB microcontroller that was designed to run microwave ovens. There is no operating system, there is no GPU, no floating point unit. Just an ARM Cortex M0+ overclocked to an inch of its life. Its ridiculous, pointless and fun. If you want a better device, there are a gazillion linux emulator handhelds - but very few with the kind of zany userbase we have. 4. Wifi? Watch this space. And hey, thanks for the interest, and I will answer any questions you want to ask.
