Pine64 update newsletter has just been published for February.
Hilite: Pinetab2
PineTab2
PineTab will be available in two SKUs: 4GB RAM / 64GB eMMC & 8GB RAM / 128 eMMC
Pricing: 4GB/64GB version USD $159 & 8GB/128GB version $209
First impression of the PineTab2 – most refined Linux-capable hardware from PINE64; very high quality all around and a major step-up from the original
PineTab2’s keyboard impressions – very good keyboard, sturdy and hefty stand and solid key backlight
PineTab2 software more mature than many of you expect – thanks to the work on Quartz64 and SOQuartz by the community; only a few bits missing
FOSDEM demo ran DanctNix Arch + KDE Plasma Desktop and was well received
Launch window – sometime in April, but no promises
there are currently only three ‘significant’ things that do not work: USB3.0 (it is being actively investigated), cameras and Bluetooth. The USB3.0 not working is a bit of a mystery, but it will be worked out in the end, the cameras will take time to implement as they have on the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro, and finally the Bluetooth functionality will require some driver-work.
