A new community update just went live!
This month we report on some news concerning the PineVox, what the community have been up to with their PineNotes and the brand-new 1.15 InfiniTime update.
This is the #PineTime (actual photo) - a #Linux smartphone companion and a side-project of ours. Are you a @real_FreeRTOS or @ArmMbed developer with an interest in smartwatches? - let us know.
DHL sent ALL PinePhones to New Zealand instead of their actual destinations 🤦. How this happened is beyond us. This is a blunder on their part, but ultimately we're the ones that get to apologize to you - very sorry about this. It will take aprx a week to sort this situation out
This blew our socks off -- #PineNote's e-paper display now works on mainline #Linux! 🎉
Thanks to Samuel Holland (github.com/smaeul) as well as other contributors for this incredible achievement.
The #PinePhone modem (yes, the modem) can now run Linux kernel 5.10 (@postmarketOS)... we're sure many of you know where this is heading :)
Massive thanks to biktorgj, konradybcio and others.
October Update:
Introducing the #PinePhonePro - $399
#PineNote and PinePhone Pro pre-orders are now open to developers & shipping this year!
#PineTime#InfiniTime major firmware progress & project management update
Our minds ... are blown. A community member made a functional #PinePhone fingerprint reader.
Guess who we'll be reaching out to soon ;)

Thanks to the work of Samuel Holland, crust advanced power management is now capable of running the #PinePhone for 100hrs in idle without the modem (approx110mW). With modem on, we should get 40% battery run-time increase (to approx 24 hrs).
Coming to your distro of choice soon!
We’re pleased to announce that the next #PinePhone Community Edition will feature @ManjaroLinux.
Variants available:
* Regular CE - 2GB RAM/ 16GB eMMC
* Convergence Package - 3GB RAM/ 32GB eMMC bundled with a USB-C dock.
Pre-oders open mid September.
