    The hardware isn’t so much of a problem as there are companies who can make or source compatible tablets like the PineTab2 and the PineNote.

    It’s making the software compatible with a lower power mobile device and learning what needs to fixed.

    It would have been much easier to deal with getting a tablet up and running before dealing with getting a mobile device functional.

    Making the small steps from laptop to tablet then to phone would have saved them a lot of grief and software mistakes.

      What are the chances of everyone interested in this project already having a tablet? I don’t own any, and I certainly wouldn’t be going out to buy one just to test running Linux on it. I do have multiple old phones I could turn into development test devices however. Anything is better than nothing.
