@PINE64 No update on the PineTab???????

Sorry, I'm just anxious. I'll wait. Over there. In the corner. Weeping quietly to myself.

@PINE64 I'll have to read this over the course of the day. Really exciting stuff. ðŸ˜Š

Is there any word on PineTab stuff, though? ðŸ™‚

A PinePhone 3GB RAM and 32GB storage ?! I already have a Braveheart but i'm down for this. I have two hands afterall and love spare devices.

Just pre-ordered the Convergence package of the Pinephone and I feel like now Purism is going to have an even harder time competing with the Pinephone. What an amazing blog post, what an amazing value, so much to unpack. Pine64 you are on fire!

@PINE64 I took note of what seems to me to be your first product that uses RISC-V. That is an awesome first step for the pine64 community to gain experiance with it. You are paving the way for innovation and growth in opensource tech. Thank you!

Hopefully in the next year or 2 we'll see another RISC-V based product that will encorage even more experiance and growth. Then maybe we'll see a full fledged RISC-V SBC come around, "The PineV" or "The PineFive," sometime in the next 4 years (I'm dreaming here). Whatever you do, just keep being awesome!

Actually looks like a couple hours ago there is a crowdsupply campain that just started for a RISC-V SoC SBC (looks big though).

But hey, a few years ago a similar board cost over $1000. So a board now that costs under $500 is pretty good. Maybe we could be closer to a "PineFive" than I thought. Prices need to come down a bit more before it's in my budget range. But I would be on board buying one for that price if there were instructions on how to install Linux.

@PINE64

Any chance there will be a Convergence package with the UBPorts PinePhone?

@PINE64
Any plans for 10"-12" version of the Pinebook Pro? I'd take one, but 14" is just too yuge for me.

@PINE64 huge update! just wondering: I'm waiting for the "final" #PinePhone revision for as close to a plug-n-play experience as possible. Is the Convergence Edition with the 1.2a mainboard that? Or should I hold off?

@zack @postmarketOS @JF

We are done selling UBPorts Edition PinePhones. However, you can still load UBPorts on this model, or locate a compatible dock.

@nick As far as we know, the 1.2a should be the final revision. But we also thought that about the original 1.2 before a couple issues were discovered.

@PINE64 @postmarketOS @JF dammit! Pine64 I now need to buy a pinephone , pinecube, pinecil , pinetime and a rockpro64 . Stop making things or my wife will leave me .

On a more serious note a pinephone with 3gb ram and 32gb storage should become the new standard for pinephone .

Nice work guys ðŸ‘ looking forward to an update on the pinetab .

@PINE64 Great news about EU shipping! Just to be sure: when you say that the warehouse "will only be used for PinePhones", I hope it will include Convergence?
