Looks pretty awesome!<p>What keeps me away from actually buying their stuff is the software ecosystem. Linux is great for development work, OK for everything else desktop-ish, but like 100 miles behind Android.<p>If they started moving into IoT, and had replacements for the whole Google Home/Assistant/Cloud/Keep ecosystem, maybe, but then there's still games, banking apps, NFC payments, and things like that which probably aren't going to work that well.<p>I hope they succeed, they seem to be the most promising FOSS friendly company out there, but I wonder if they wouldn't be better off focusing on the bottom up before jumping into phones and tablets. Pinecil looks to be the best iron out there.<p>Or maybe the phones and tablets are exactly what they need to get people excited, I'm sure not a business major!
<i>Both tablets feature a 1200×800 10.1” IPS LCD panel</i><p>At $159 the price is good but without a better display I am not so sure it will be as useful.
