Wow, we did not expect the level of interest you all have had in the #PineTime!

More info:
- Cost will be approximately 25USD
- Charging dock included in price
- Built-in heartbeat monitor
- Case built of Zinc alloy and plastic
- Battery life measured in days
- Sorry, can't run Linux itself. SoC is nRF52832, which uses a Cortex-M4 core. That's why we need FreeRTOS :)

This is the PineTime. A companion for your Linux smartphone, and new side-project of ours. More news coming in the future...

(If you have experience with FreeRTOS or mbed, and are interested, please get in touch!)

#PineTime, recently announced by PINE64 on Twitter, will be the #PinePhone official companion smartwatch. It will sell for about $25 and feature a low-power ARM MCU, heart rate sensor and much more.

I often use GIMP at work, I'm in the works of convincing a switch to DaVinci Resolve Studio, next step... switch our systems to Linux. I'm sneaky 😈

Even better performance to be expected once all these platforms, now at their earliest stage, are optimized enough.

@an93lofdeath @micahbp great ideas we agree! Good video and written resources will make it easier for people to switch, use and recommend the service to friends and family so this is very important to us. We have it on our roadmap and will get to it ASAP after the Librem 5 launch.

The #PinePhone is getting an #UbuntuTouch port too!

NICE! Drumgizmo running with Bitwig as a VS2 plugin on #Linux.

Piece of cake so far! (Loaded up is the "Crocell" acoustic drumkit that was a 5.2GB download. Samples sound great!)

#Glimpse is a fork of GIMP with a moderized user interface - and a less offensive name to encourage usage also in professional environments. It is also somewhat related to the original project (developed also by some GNOME devs) and promises to work together with upstream developers.
