In case anyone is looking for a similar project with a bit more definition, check out the PineTab[1]. It'll probably be pretty cheap (PineBook Pro will go for $200, PinePhone will go for $150), and I'm guessing it'll be available before this project is.

I really like all of these independent tablet/laptop/phone projects! I'm just a little worried that people will pick them up thinking they'll be just like an Android/iOS tablet and end up blaming the company making it.

It'll be $80, it's a pretty good experience since everything required for the A64 soc is in mainline already or in the process of being upstreamed.


If it has a working OpenGL ES and EGL support, then it could be a very cool target to port!


"This item is not yet available for purchase from the PINE64 store."


Neither is the CutiePi, but it does seem significantly farther along the process of becoming a purchasable product [1]. But I do like the idea of using a Pi compute module for the basis of a tablet.
