Is the point here just the novelty of a blackberry form factor wrapped around a pi?
- geerlingguy 3y agoMostly, that. The group that made it also maintains Beeper [1], a messaging platform that unites a bunch of other messaging platforms using Matrix, so my guess is the intent is to use it as a messaging device. For me... it's a fun little gadget that may or may not end up in my little novelty kit with the Flipper Zero, which can be useful in some scenarios, but is more for fun than utility.

- boredemployee 3y agoI can understand why someone would want beeper, but the current zen in me, after a burnout, denies it at all costs. Imagine that: the possibility of having your wife, boss and mom at the same time requesting your services.

- jrockway 3y agoI mean, it's a computer with a monitor and a keyboard built in. What doesn't it do is a more interesting question.
