While I agree price is an issue(even at it's minimal specs, the Meerkat is about 5.5 times the price of a 4GB Pi 4 with case and all the needed accessories to power the Pi from a wall socket, and all you really get for that extra money is a SSD for holding the OS, a second 4GB of Ram and the greater flexibility of running an x86 distro), but I don't really get the size argument. The 10cm cube engraved with a 1cm grid I keep around for making rough measurements won't fit in my pocket, but a plastic container I have that, comparing it to the cube is at least 4.5 inches wide, 5 inches long, and two inches thick fits no problem and the Meerkat is only 4.5*4.5*1.5 inches if I remember correctly. Hell, I'm pretty sure the Meerkat is smaller than a Nintendo DS classic and Playstation Vita combined, and if I were to pull those out of my box of old hardware, I have no doubt both could fit in the same pocket. Now, admittedly, maybe I'm just lucky to have decently sized pockets and normal pockets really are as tiny as implied, but I don't hold my Pi 3 in my hand and think"I wish this thing was smaller), and while the only Smartphone I own is a dinosaur from the Android 2.x days, whenever I think about trying to repurpose the old thing, if anything, I wish it was big enough that the keys and key spacing on it's built-in keyboard where on par with a TI-83 graphing calculator and that it had a full-sized SD slot and everytime I hold someone else smartphone, I tend to think along the lines of "would it kill them to add enough bulk to fit a higher capacity battery, physical keyboard, full-sized SD slot or any of the other things that have been sacrificed in the name of miniaturization as a terminal goal? That said, it'd be great if planned obsolescence didn't render phones borderline unusable by the time the average person has paid one off and if Android wasn't stuck in proprietary driver hell that prevents all but the most popular models from ever getting aftermarket support. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
