Last month they even managed to fully open parts of the modem, and do calls without the closed blob for the firmware!

(edit: caveat: they might not be able to actually ship the firmware since laws on this are very strict basically everywhere)

The app store(s) is a bit of a problem, but in time it might be solved. Not a big problem for me....

But I'd also like to see android compatibility. Multiple banks now basically require you to have an android app. Unfortunately that might also require better specs, since sideloading an entire android might take significant RAM :(

Still, kudos to pine64 devs for the openness of all of their projects! IMHO even the raspy is not as open, even if it might have better benchs
