i want to validate this concept (and will again in the future): do you want a linux pocket computer that is not primarily a smartphone, but could be an alternative/substitute for a smartphone? i.e. not focused on the telephone aspect, but on text/writing/CLI/web.
one idea (librem 5 has this already): pluggable cell modem if you want. alternatively wifi or tether to dumbphone/other smartphone.
i want an open smartphone alternative but i do _not_ want to mess with telephony. i rarely use it and i think it's a technological and regulatory tar pit.
blackbox apps to order groceries, tickets, online banking etc could be run via anbox. we would need to invest some work into getting anbox up to date though i guess.
still undecided on: camera???, screen aspect, keyboard type and detachability
@mntmn Right now I see the biggest gaps in open/privacy respecting hardware actually being in the tablet and ereader space. So I might suggest something in the form factor of either the ipad mini, or a smaller 6" ereader device.
You could then further extend the utility of the device by having a pogo pin connector on the back/side, allowing for an attached keyboard or other mods. Anyhow, that's my two cents.
