This looks like awesome work. Will be studying the source to learn about how it works. Serious code envy for people who take the time and effort to build OS'es like this. Could see this having potential on SBCs and usage in IOT/P

Common sense and good design will not rule over sales generation thru designed in obsolescence. I had to buy new adapter with mag-safe for my 2013 Air. Got a new MBP at work a few days later and the replaceable cable makes so much sense.

Another interesting phone to look at is the Xiaomi Qin 1s which runs a variant of Android Go (they call it MOCOR5), and is a handset for Rmb395. I played with one in a Sundan store in Guangzhou last week. Nice keyboard, screen is good enou
