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.
No matter how you may feel about fingerprint scanners on phones... this is a very impressive #PinePhone mod!

Again we would like to welcome @apple to the world of ARM-based laptops. You're still a few years late to the party, but you're still a VIP. And as always, better late than never. ;)
Make yourself at home, alongside the #Pinebook and #PinebookPro.
Much software progress is made between the moment an OS is submitted to the factory and when users receive their #PinePhone.
Please update your
@manjarolinux Community Edition using the inbuilt software center (you'll be prompted) or via command-line (sudo pacman -Syyuu).
Major performance improvements coming to the #PinePhone thanks to work by Ondrej Jirman (megi).
Video shows UI performance of
@kde on
@postmarketOS, but the fix will benefit all OSes.
Help us design the next mobile PINE64 platform: the PineCom!
At last, our Pine Store is back, and better than ever before!

Good news for all those waiting for #pinetime and #pinecube dev kits - They are available the the Pine Store (http://store.pine64.org).
NB. The PineTime now ships with @codingfield's FOSS InfiniTime firmware!
We are upgrading the #PINE64 cluster to make it more reliable and easier to maintain remotely.
Scheduled downtime 12 Sept. at 11 AM CET (5/6AM CDT/EDT).
Services will be offline no longer than 5hrs.
Pine Store will remain operational.
New Pine Store (WIP pictures) with more payment options (Stripe) being built. We are, however, struggling with crypto payments (@BTCPayServer), since we haven't received a response from
Bitstamp as of today. We won't use Kraken - their form requires disclosure of private info.
We know you like photos from the production-line, so here are some pictures of
@postmarketOS CE #PinePhone from the factory for you to enjoy.
Pictured:
- QA and component testing (using #Linux !)
- a 3GB RAM/32GB eMMC mainboard
- a bunch of units awaiting assembly.
We're happy to share a few pictures of a #Pinecil prototype!
The Pinecil is our upcoming ~$25 RISC-V based soldering iron, powered via USB-C or the barrel plug.

We're proud to announce that we're now an ARM Ecosystem Partner!
More news on the subject (including a collaboration with @ArmSoftwareDev@twitter.com) coming in the near future.

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 (approximately 110mW). With modem on, we should get 40% battery run-time increase (to approx 24 hrs).
Coming to your distro of choice soon!
