10 commentsPineNote is risking the fate of reMarkable: great hardware, but extremely poor software.
Is this a mistake? The Developer edition has the same note (along with a more obvious red warning at the top), and if it's true, then I don't really see what the point of the "community" edition is.
What's the refresh rate?
Also a 30 day warranty doesn't inspire much confidence, or am I missing something? Is this something you're intended to repair on your own if it breaks?
Anyway if the hardware is good, that was always my biggest issue with the remarkable being that it was hard to customize or use for anything that is not the basic official usage.
I'm still interested in the Inkplate. I don't understand why the Remarkable gets so much attention around here and the Inkplate doesn't.
Also the 10.3" screen is too small for an e-reader imho. I want to read ArXiv pdf's which are always A4 or letter size, about 14" diagonal. My sister just got a 13" Ipad Air and it is very nice and light. I wouldn't want anything smaller than that.
Does anyone have any information on the OS being developed looks like? I have not been able to find any videos or screenshots that indicate what interacting with the device is expected to look like. I found this blog post here, but it shows it running a GNOME environment which is... Not at all what I would hope for in this type of device: https://pine64.org/2024/10/02/september_2024/#pinenote
I bought 2 watches, the button of broke on one of them after a month and a week, just out of warranty. Both watches get their time fully reset when out of battery, which is after a couple of days.
I really love the concept and applaud the effort and time people have put into this, but just wish the hardware was a bit better.
