Seems like some progress is being made in creating a #linux #pda #device using #palmos https://pmig96.wordpress.com/2021/04/29/.. The #raspberrypi 4 is insanely overpowered for this task of course. Regarding my own #linuxpda project, I believe I will look at developing on the #pine #pinetab for now as it's finally in some workable state.

Thanks to some #pine #community members, my random WiFi #dongle is now supported in the #arch #linux #kernel I use: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi.. This means that I can now use the #tablet as a #wireless device again! Looking forward to using this device in the local #library once the #lockdown becomes less strict!Currently trying to get the #pine #pinetab up and running with a #usb #wifi #dongle ... #ubuntu isn't playing ball so far. I get nothing but issues with this device, I don't know why. I will try with my custom version of #archlinux soon.
A #discussion ongoing regarding #pine 's #pinenote #eink #display and how it will #refresh https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?.. There will certainly be some software issues to overcome. Personally I think the best bet is to build a really intelligent display #driver for #linux ... That was you can reuse everything that already exists.
Wow, even #dumbphones can contain #preinstalled #malware as tested in #russia https://therecord.media/malware-found-pr.. Apparently this was discovered by setting up a local 2G base station and recording #cell #traffic from the #phone being tested. This is exactly why phones like #pine 's #pinephone is so important!

Nice round-up by #gamey on #pinephone #compatible #phone #apps https://odysee.com/@gamey:c/best-pinepho.. Glad to see such great progress being enabled by #pine !
Looking for an #arduino #yun #alternative device to replace #pine 's #pinecube as a #baseboard for the #linuxpda #concept ... I found out last night after reading the #hardware #schematics that it will be incapable of handling #touchscreen #display #input https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/linu.. Currently put a call out on #irc over on #hackaday on #libera - but it's quiet in there. I may need to do some more searching myself...
Hmm, I might be about to make another dumb #purchase ... I have finally has some responses regarding #pine 's #pinecube about the #lcd #driver and other stuff. If I can figure out if the #display will support #touch input - we could be looking at a viable base for a #linuxpda #device ! https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/linu.. I think I will write a follow-up #article later for #coffeespace !
Great #article on #hackaday about #pine 's #pinephone and reasonable #expectations https://hackaday.com/2021/09/02/pining-f.. What's interesting about this is that just this morning I was reading on the #forum about some #unreasonable expectations some how with the #hardware and #software https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?.. My biggest concern for Pine64 was actually that they do not manage expectations so well. I see the same mistake happening with the #pinenote !
#apple being hit by the #chipshortage - and they were sending out #rumours that it was done with now: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technol.. So much for it being over... #pine have done pretty well to keep #shipping their #hardware !
Have a crazy #idea to turn #pine 's #pinecube into a #pda device: https://www.pine64.org/cube/ Looking at the #specs it sports a small #arm #cpu 800MHz, 128 MB #ram , a #touchscreen #display and #wifi https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PineCu.. This could very well end up as a very nice #hardware base!
Man I really want a #pine #pinennote https://tuxphones.com/pinenote-eink-linu.. It's a shame I've really got no #time or #money right now to work on such a device. I'm still holding out for a #pinecom #eink #wifi device that runs #linux - not something unlike a #pda ...
I keep thinking that the killer #device I *really* want is an #internet connected #pda with #gps and perhaps #lora ... I want to build out essentially what is a #wiphone - my hope was that #pine 's #pinecom would be this device, but I really suspect the only way to achieve this will be to build it myself after this #phd ...
I really like the idea of #opensource #ereader #devices https://hackaday.com/2021/08/20/inkplate.. Man I really want one of #pine 's #pinenote devices! It's such a shame they cost so much...
Another month, another #pine update! https://www.pine64.org/2021/08/15/introd.. They have released the #pinenote which looks like an awesome #alternative to the #remarkable - it's also insanely #powerful too. I *really* want one, but most definitely cannot afford it at $400. I'm currently checking out #fitotrack for the #pinetime - an #opensource #fitness #app https://codeberg.org/jannis/FitoTrack Other than that, there is awesome progress on the #pinephone and #pinedio too!
Awesome to see a large #eink #display in the works over at #pine ! https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?.. Hopefully this means a e-ink device in the near future based on the new #quartz #platform !
