Handle and design loosely reminds me of the OLPC. It's cute (and aptly-named)
The original xo tablet rendering is super cool, very hard to compete :-)

#132This would be be awesome with a low latency e-ink display!
I do find SPI e-ink displays, but not sure about touch panels..

Because the boot loader is locked, so does its launcher, unless LauncherHijack installed and abuses Accessibility feature to draw Overlays on top of your screen.... Speaking of modifying existing hardwares, Nexus 7 is my personal favorite: http://i.imgur.com/8H9LH9U.jpg
What projects do you need a tablet and you need it unlocked?
Anything related to flashing eMMC, anything kernel related, especially KMS/DRM, bionic libc... etc.
If you don't find it limited with locked device, you're simply not playing hard enough. :-))

#134Barging in with a vaguely related question here. Could anyone please illuminate a noob, briefly, as to what's the situation with open-source drivers for displays? Because, judging by the practical unportability of Android on phones, it looks like a ‘piss off’ from big boys of the market. (Or is the Android's problem more with radio chips?)
Libhybris would still be your best bet on re-using Android drivers..

#135Will there be GPIO pins exposed somewhere?
Please find J20 from the schematic https://github.com/cutiepi-io/cutiepi-board/blob/master/SCH_...

So sign up for the mailing list or come back when they are more ready to talk money.
Simple rule of FAQs: if you don't know, say you don't know, and stop. Don't then go on to tease about how people could look up the component costs if they really want to, because are you also going to let them guess as your production overhead and the profit margin? No. Just say "we don't know". Or, at this point, after limited runs, give a real indication.
I guess that's an old habit from maintaining open-source projects, fully disclosed & all transparent policy sometimes make things overly complicated. My apologies for the bad writing ;-)

#137If one wants to create a wall mounted, always display on, system are there any of like CutiePi with an e-Ink display?
I do find SPI e-ink displays on taobao, not sure about touch:

#138I thought that case design reminded me of something, then I remembered the one laptop per child (OLPC) project from years ago. Apparently it is still going and their latest offering is based around a celeron processor, not sure they would even consider selling them to the general public though. http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/catalog-2019.pdf
I just looked at their email distribution lists and they are pretty much dead. Last dev email from May was about XO-1.75 when XO-4 Touch is available.

#139I really like the idea of an open hackable tablet but the screen resolution of 1280x800 might be limiting. My digital life revolves around my 11" iPad Pro (except for my GPU rig for ML and coding, and a MacBook for light weight dev and also writing) and the hires display is important.
I have 1280x720 on my GPDWIN2 and it can be limited for sure.
