Gemini PDA

What would you actually use it for? All PDA functions can be found on modern smartphones. You can't code on it because you would develop carpal tunnel syndrome or something, and you'd actually use this to call people? Plus it will never be released anyway because niche market.

Verdict: 100% meme.

Said fuck it and 'bought' one. Really not that expensive (if it will ever be released....) plus they look comfy as fuck. Was always in the market for a new UMPC so it's nice that a new one will be released in 2017

Well what is it. Both?

I bet it will come with normbuntu

This. It's 2017 now, PDA's are tech from the 80ties where it should stay.

Old school windows games.

all these shit would be great for casual hacking/scripting if they didn't cost the price of a 17" laptotp

A 17" laptop can't fit in your pocket though.

>>61897717

You can expand storage with SD-cards though.
Also, 4GB isn't bad at all for casual use/scripting/oldschool games

Not that guy, but will do. Which models do you recommend?

What the fuck. I'm asking for a cheap laptop for coding, not how to download cp from mcdonald's.

I guess you can find better and cheaper though

>>61897833

You just need to know some shit about security, nobody will sell you something out-of-the-box that respect your privacy

>>61897862
>One would think they'd try to make the screen as big as possible, on such a small device

At this point (concept stage), I guess everything is still possible. Which isn't a plus.

>>61897233
I can almost feel those ultra low switches
Typing on that thing is going to be hell

If these things actually didn't run on android, they might not be a 100% waste.

Concerning the OP: the keyboard looks cramped as fuck. I'd rather use a 14" laptop. Nothing you can use [IN A COMFORTABLE WAY] with a keyboard will ever fit in your pocket.

>>61897233
If it was like 100€, battery lasted at least 8 hours and I could easily dualboot android and linux then sure.
Too bad that product will be stupidly expensive and it will not have any support.

The only way things like that will cost 100-200 bucks will be if they are mass produced in the millions. Which will never happen because
>niche market

If you want something from a niche market, you got to pay the price. Which you won't. Which is why it'll stay in the niche market.

Also
>Give me a quality mobile sized laptop that will run for 8 hours
>I'm willing to pay no more than 100 bucks
What the fuck are you even thinking?

>Linux

I'm only willing to concern this if it can boot Arch.

>>61898086
too bads that you can find 100$ phones that'll run for more than 8 hours

>>61897233
Everything well known is a meme.

>>61898142
>too bads that you can find 100$ phones that'll run for more than 8 hours

Yes, and they make pretty good paper weights too.

>>61898086
>>Give me a quality mobile sized laptop that will run for 8 hours

>>61898198
better than a 400$ indiegogo paper weight

>>61898269
>>implying that's quality laptop
>>that's what >>61898057 (You) implied, yes.
device that has decent battery and can run operating system is not quality device but absolute minimum for anybody to ever consider using it.

>>61898358

No shit. The point was that you can't expect much from a device that costs 100 bucks. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

>>61897233

All meming aside, this looks comfy as fvck.

>>Dual boots linux and windows
where the fuck did you read this?

the official site says it dual boots android and linux.

>>61899639

OP here. Yeah sorry that was a mistake.

>>61897233
GPD Win is better though. Especially for pocket gaymin.

>>61899668
its also not even the same fucking thing

>>61899722
Okay. Android phones are better than the Gemini thing.

>>61899776
android phones also do not have a full keyboard, where that does.

would you like to try again?

>>61899790
>full keyboard
A touch keyboard is better than a tiny and unusable keyboard.

>>61900024
you are literally and subjectively wrong

>>61897233
>4G
>superbly blackbox-tier proprietary baseband receiver/tranceiver embedded directly in your "pseudo-libre" meme device

>oh it's those indie devs who are probably browsing 4chan

japan did this few years ago and shipped ubuntu/debian IIRC. It's hard to find though.

I'd rather have a separate cheapish non-smart huawei modem crap and access 4G features (including messaging) through the CPE.
>calls
VoIP preferred.

>what is fake base station
>can't even control 4G
>doesn't have ports for signal boosting antennas and doesn't even allow users choose/block/lock towers to avoid location triangulation from two or three towers

Fuck smart crap and radio.
dumb IoT + retro crap is way better.

>>61897660
At that point you might as well get a GPD Win. At least that has a controller built in.

Wtf am I reading.
Swiping made it a lot better but it's still shit to type on a piece of glass.

That thing looks nice but I'm not sure if it is usable for typing longer than 5 minutes.

>>61900024
Did you develop Stockholm syndrome or something?

That's all you need to know to ascertain the potential of this product.

>>61897949
Im not expecting something spectacular the GPD pocket is getting very bad reviews and its 2 times bigger than that thing, so yea, its going to be a bad.

>>61897233

It's a scam

>>61897233

more than likely that its a scam
