What a weird thing to build.
I can just do all of it with a laptop. At that price point they will have to put it, it will not be worth it to buy it to carry it around to play around 'sometimes'.
Flipper One Tech Specs

Re: Flipper One Tech Specs
#142I have a Flipper Zero and I've used it... occasionally. Like that one time controlling the Taylor Swift Eras tour wristbands: https://blog.jgc.org/2024/05/controlling-taylor-swift-eras-t... but it's mostly sat around being an odd device. I duplicated a couple of RFID things, used the IR for some stuff, and once in a while used the radio receiver, but mostly it looks pretty. I'm not sure what I'd do with a Flipper One…
I had similar feelings but the comments below about adding an SDR to it with an M.2 slot got me looking a little closer. This has an 8-core Rockchip A72/A53 processor and 8GB of RAM. This is not an incremental improvement over the Flipper Zero, this is something else entirely. Hmmmmm...
Oh what is it? A powerbank? No a Router! No its Batman
sry had to do this...

It's more like a portable Raspberry Pi with better efficiency and more IO. And hopefully even better mainline Linux support out of the gate. The key question will be how much it costs. Beyond $250-300, it's a lot more of a niche product. Below $250 would be very interesting. I don't think it will be below $300. With current memory and storage pricing, probably $350-400 is more realistic :(
Does it need to be so cheap? With these specs it would make a decent replacement for a low end general purpose computer. The older NUC I use for a lot of stuff has similar-to-worse specs than this thing does.
This is not a general purpose computer though. There is no keyboard and you would need to start adding stuff. The volumne then would be bulky as hell. Any small form factor laptop would be cheaper and easier and also has better specs.
A cheap laptop with display and keyboard, which would be capable of all that stuff the flipper can do, starts at 200 Euros.

The flipper zero was already in a grey area because it easily enables one to do things in licensed bands and do things you’re not allowed to do in unlicensed bands. They can’t plausibly add even more functions in this area and still sell to the public. Presumably all of the interfaces they added are for users to add the functions under their own responsibility.
For what reason? When I buy a hammer in hardware store, can smash all the windows of parked cars nearby..
And? Are you allowed to buy and own a gun because of your point you are trying to make?
No
In germany radio frequencies are also protected. For citizen band / CB above channel 40 you need to register yourself. Every radio device needs to be certified. The only people in germany allowed to build their own radio devices are people with a amateur radio license.

I used it to scan my cat's microchips which let me catch that my recent adoption had the wrong number registered and correct it. Today I used my swiss army knife for the first time in a year because I needed a narrow flathead in a pinch. Not all tools need to be used everyday. I can't remember the last time I used my 3/8" wrench.

Now our 10mm sockets on the other hand, would be used everyday if we could ever lay our hands on one when we need them.

If it’s not cheap, then what differentiates it from a $150 Linux laptop and $30 dongle
That's exactly my point! It's a low to midrange computer with extremely high portability including a grayscale display. Where else are you going to get that functionality combined as a single unit?
I've been eyeing the MNT Pocket Reform for a while:
Re: Flipper One Tech Specs
#148I was getting very excited about this until I realized it's huge . Bigger than my phone in most dimensions. There go my dreams of a Flipper Zero-esque device I can port RockBox to and plug in for a low-power Linux PC...
You may be interested in Librem 5 or Pinephone then.

Actually, most users of this site are. You're the odd one out here.

A mobile phone?
