Planet Computer's new product is a expensive ARM-based Linux desktop computer with a touchscreen panel. I can't figure out what the target audience is.

@mustapipa paljon lentomatkustavalle voi olla nykyaikainen kommunikaattori hyvä vaihtoehdoksi läppärille.

Itselläni on Planet Computersin laitteita ollut ja vaikka eivät mekaanisesti olekaan maailman laadukkaimpia, ovat ne ainakin omassa käytössäni parhaita puhelimia mitä rahalla saa. Ei ne läppäriä korvaa, mutta niillä pystyy kirjoittamaan tilanteissa joissa läppäri pysyy laukussa.

Oh wow, this #PlanetComputers #AstroSlide5G looks sweet...

At 729 GBP it's waaaay out of my budget though...

It's good to see more #mobilePhones with physical keyboards again though!

#Vivaldi sera le #navigateur par #défaut pré-installé sur le #smartphone Astro Slide 5G de chez #PlanetComputers !
Doté d'un grand clavier coulissant, le mobile est capable de booter sur #Android et #Linux, pour les allergiques à G👀 gle !

Planet Computers has the Gemini, which I still use and got at a discount since I helped crowdfund (wifi version.) There is also the Cosmo Communicator, which is currently 25% off but still expensive.

And there is the new Astro Slide, which is even moar pricey and not yet released.

Late to the party...Monday's announcement from #PlanetComputers: New device - Cosmo Communicator

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cosmo-communicator#/

Too soon! I'm still loving the #GeminiPDA! But I love the enhancements for #Cosmo, especially the backlit keyboard and external screen! Hard decisions for a gadget freak on a budget 😂 #pda

Jolla: Gemini PDA into the Sailfish OS family!

"We are working with Planet Computers to bring Sailfish OS to their brilliant Gemini PDA.

The current release of Sailfish OS for the Gemini PDA is a community edition which includes basic Sailfish OS features, with no third-party software.

A fully loaded version of the OS is planned to be released later under the Sailfish X brand."

Planet Computers: Gemini PDA to run Sailfish OS (a mobile Linux OS).

A full QWERTY equipped Gemini PDA is a quad-boot mobile device, which is capable of booting into Android and various Linux distributions including Sailfish OS.

The official version of the OS, called Sailfish X, will be available in late 2018 after a beta release this fall.

@ajroach42 How is the #planetcomputers #gemini better than a rooted phablet with an external keyboard? Is it the more convenient form factor, is it noticeably more powerful, …? How's the battery life?
