There’s always one
I have absolutely no use for something like that. But I'll probably end up buying one anyway, provided the final price is still reasonable.
Gigabit ethernet port sounds like an easy vector for a adding a cellular modem for an inexpensive phone
Last Linux Kickstarter I bought was 4 years ago and I never got it. Not getting scammed again
Alright, so you're not in the market for Linux products. That's fine. Do you happen to be looking to buy a bridge? Who's your bridge guy?
This is cool. I will be buying one.
Depends on how well it’s executed. It would be all too easy for a device like this to end up fatally flawed to the point where it’s not actually useful. (I’ve seen some real stinkers that looked great in the crowdfunding campaign.)
Reminded me slightly of another project about to seek funding, the Raspberry Pi 5 powered Pilet.

Looks pretty neat for tinkering
Thats actually pretty cool, they say they are going to make the the files to build your own extensions open source so i wonder if more complex controllers can be attached, stuff like twin sticks and such for better emulation compatibility, i dont know tho how the specs are for emulation
Great, a whole new form factor and OS to spend hours months getting to work with my emacs config.
Could just get a Pinephone with keyboard. Plus you get a cellular modem.
Seems to be a decent amount of hardware for the price.
I’m guessing it will ship 8 years from now and suck
I wonder how well I'd get by with one of these if it connected to my cellular provider's network?
reminds me of the M5 Stack, but with a much more portability friendly profile
