I meant Hardware development and manufacturering.

OS and how and when to deliver will be a separate discussion. And progress not controlled by us.

So if Santa planning to deliver a qwerty slider this year. When do you think campaign will appear? September?

Think it Will be tricky to deliver before end of year but it would be cool.

For the lulz, it's ok to strike the penalty shot, i know :D
But please all remember that it is quite unfair to intermingle chen with any other projects or track records.

And it's "aiming", not "guaranteed".

Re: The new QWERTY device project

Hey you say that you want to support anyone want to port another os to this device... Have you ever considered to contact the Ubports or plasma mobile communities (both have a group on Telegram)? They are very active and if you support them I reckon that they will be able to port that OSes to this device.
There is also PostmarketOS that is promising, even if at the very early stage...
Other than that is an utopia to have a port like the one on the moto mod, maybe since you want to keep the same size of the motomod have some sort of similar (and maybe compatible) port, to use theyr mods?

I am dreaming to have finally an hacker friendly device, the only downside for me is the dimensions, 5.5 is way too big unfortunately. I reckon that the perfect size is 5, anyway I cannot expect too much!

Capital Ç is done either :

But then how would you type Ć?

On my desktop Ç is shift-alt-comma. Arguably it should be dead-comma, C.

But anyway, that's all just keyboard mapping boringness -- any decent input system (or even X!) lets you define pretty much any rule you can imagine.

Oh yes there is. A TV is too big if it doesn't fit into the space you have for it.
