Ich finds ja richtig traurig, dass die Entwickler vom #jingpad pleite gegangen sind. Ich hatte mir eigentlich fest vorgenommen die zweite Version zu kaufen. :(
@thelinuxcast iPhone is a really nice piece of hardware but I would want more. To be more specific, the firmware would have to be open source and I would like it to run a mobile-optimized Linux distro.
#JingPad was the closest thing to this dream I have but it's a pity that the team and their project ended up dissolving. 😟
Oof

It has now been over two weeks since I sent a mail to Jingling, the company behind the #Jingpad in order to get my bootloader unlocked, since they abandoned their os and it's not in a usable state as of now.
No answer. I am afraid the #Jingpad has now officially turned into e-waste :-(

Be careful with the #JingPad. I am fairly certain that project has died and in it's current state it's not very usable. At least for me.
I recently helped a friend to switch his Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 lite over to #/e/-OS. He is rather happy with that.
I also have a Surface Go2 running fedora 35 and like it very much. Cameras don't work though

If you were interesting in the #JingPad, after rumors of trouble and downsizing there's been some confirmation today, and also the announcement of a "45% off" sale with code NEWYEAR.
If you always wanted one, and were looking forward to running a different OS on it anyways, then this might be good news to you, otherwise I am not sure whether I would recommend this tablet now – I never laid my hands on the hardware and forgot most of the reviews I watched.

Welcome to new #tilvids contributor @tuxdevices who share excellent videos about FOSS devices: #JingPad A1 Unboxing 📱
New #Jingpad update, but leaving it turned off on the desk seems to have drained the battery, so I have to wait until it's charged again....
One thing I am really missing on the #Jingpad is a german keyboard layout...
Just installed the first update o the #Jingpad
Alt+Tab is now way smoother, and the promise is that power consumption and charging speeds have improved.
Switching apps via gestures is also noticeably smoother.
All in all solid first update and already much more usable.
Looking forward to see them progress further
It is here, my very first product review ever and it is on the #JingPad A, my first proper Linux tablet.
Should you happen to read it, please let me know if there is anything you are missing, there might be more reviews in the future and I wouldn't want to waste your time.
Another weekend I can't keep my no screen promise to myself, but this time it's not something going wrong that's pulling me back in, it's the #Jingpad I want to test out.
So far it is at the same time brilliant and frustrating, so much better than my iPad in some places and so much worse in others.
It it's a strange device to use really and I am still not sure if I like it or not...
But in just little over two days of use I manged to fuck it up completely but also recover it
My #JingPad is still stuck with Austrian customs…
Guess they are taking a good long look at it
Going to call the transport company again today to see if the process could be sped up…
Sorry to report, my #Jingpad has not arrived today. Seems to be still stuck in France...
But I guess it should arrive later this week at the office, so at least I get to set it up at the weekend....
Package tracking still says my #Jingpad will arrive today, but the tracking list jumped back from it already being in Vienna yesterday to now flying out from Charles de Gaulle...
Nut sure if beaming or time travel is involved here...
