@deedend there are many Android phones that run mainline Linux now like the OnePlus 6! I seriously recommend checking out https://postmarketos.org :)

@homo_particeps Pine Store provides free hardware to well-known and respected developers in our community who are interested in working on a new product. So there is that.

Unfortunately, it is not our decision as the community are separate from the Pine Store (Pine64 ≠ Pine Store). Though through the discussions at FOSDEM, Pine Store has said more support will be coming for the community.

So things ARE getting better!

@homo_particeps Hello, a group of us came together to make this update. We have all been busy the past year, some of the original writers have left. So it has been very difficult for us to get these out. Especially for one or two people :(

We are working towards more frequent updates as discussed with our community at FOSDEM 2024 this year.

Support of development highly depends on our community, less development may mean a less successful product. Sometimes we only make a batch to see how much interest it will gain from the community.

@dubstar_04 It is unfortunate, but software progress is dependent on community contributions, not Pine Store.

The original Pinetab had a single batch, due to Covid-19 it was decided that a new PT would be released due to parts pricing and missing parts we couldn't source.

The Pinetab though is still a feature complete device, along with the Pinebook and Pinebook Pro :)

@deedend Not much has happened concerning the device unfortunately.
