Not sure if I'm being silly here, but with the article about Talon ( https://talonvoice.com/ ) and coding by voice from earlier this week, I think this could potentially provide an interesting setup for a portable development setup? (I quite dislike typing on touchscreens and being able to develop by voice also seems like a portable skill)

I'm guessing you've never tried to modify a Fire tablet. It's an exercise in extreme frustration. I will never "buy" a Fire tablet again. I say "buy" in quotes because the way Amazon locks down the tablet means I clearly don't own it. It's just a long term pre-paid lease.
Can't you just install a regular android app? Why do you need to unlock it to do anything?

hi, project creator penk here, thanks for the comment, "we don't know" is the honest answer we can give at this moment, since we hadn't ordered any parts. For your reference the first batch (10pcs) EVT boards is about ~90USD a piece: https://i.imgur.com/anUASlT.jpg
"we don't know" is not as good as "we don't know, but it won't be less than the material cost, which is currently X" would go a long way towards taking the people you want to get excited about this product seriously. We understand how "things cost money" works, but going "we don't know, figure it out yourself" is not a nice thing to tell people who are actually interested in what you're making =) Even updating it to…
In case anyone is looking for a similar project with a bit more definition, check out the PineTab[1]. It'll probably be pretty cheap (PineBook Pro will go for $200, PinePhone will go for $150), and I'm guessing it'll be available before this project is. I really like all of these independent tablet/laptop/phone projects! I'm just a little worried that people will pick them up thinking they'll be just like an Android/…

As a hobbyist: I really am. Looking up the price for each component takes a lot of time, which I would much rather spend working on my hw/code projects.
So sign up for the mailing list or come back when they are more ready to talk money.

Fair point, will update accordingly. I hesitate to say anything because we are getting mixed signals from Chinese manufacturers....

Will the GPIO pins include the hardware SPI, I2C, or UART pins? I'm excited about the extra compute available from the RPi4, but obviously the CM4 isn't out yet.
I'm also excited about Pi4, but on the other hand worried about thermal issue...
