It's not open source, but there's disassembly and analysis of it available: https://github.com/dragan-simic/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater/tree/master/firmware

the PineNote… thank you for ensuring I don’t spend money on a Remarkable or an iPad mini, brilliant!

Alright. Enough already with the cool "I must have one no matter if I need it or not" new products. Stop it. Stop. It!

... Pretty please?

60Hz? 10 inch? Nigh resolution? Wow, eink really evolved
in reply to PINE64

is 8gb possible on the rk3566? it'd be a more practical primary device. i do pretty well on my 4gb laptop but largely because the SATA SSD is quite good at swap.

It has both capacitive (finger-touch) and EMR (pen) sensitivity.

This is going to be fun to watch. As much as I love both Plasma and Plasma Mobile, neither seem particularly designed for an E-ink tablet!

Fun times ahead figuring this out!

Does it have a touch screen, or is it by pen only?

Will the PineNote have a web browser function to take advantage of the Library Overdrive functionality?

congratulations! Reshared and hoping the best for PINE64.

it's been at least a couple months now since I've heard any update about Your Risc-V board. I'm interested in how things are going.
in reply to PINE64

psst @mhoye , it's a long road to being a fully completed device, but check out the PineNote! 👀↑↑
in reply to PINE64

Is the CPU and operating system open source? If so, then what operating system are you using?
in reply to XxAlexXx

In the #PineNote?

It uses the Rockchip RK3566, which isn't open source really, but far more documentation is publically available than for most SoCs.

It runs Linux, in whatever flavor you want.
in reply to PINE64

Chill, it ain't that strong. Its an e book. Anyways how is the sensitivity of the pen? How many pressure levels does it have?

It's not a "non-existing proto", it's already in the hands of developers. There are pictures in the blog, including one where it's displaying a picture.

You don't have to be interested in the device, but do not lie about it please. 🙂
in reply to PINE64

A dedicated page that lists the specs, shows some screenshots, and has some videos actually showing it being used *would* be quite nice, though. Hard to justify $400 if there's nothing that actually shows off how responsive it actually is =)
in reply to PINE64

Ara, that PineNote looks spicey now that similar devices are coming to market all the time.

How hackable will it be tho?
in reply to PINE64

when is hardware upgrade going to happen for #PinePhone and #PineBookPro ? They are due
in reply to PINE64

stawp it!! I can't be spending money all the time!!! but I will....

... p.s. sent from my #pinephone using #tootle
