Bullet Points: Forum is done, next up: chats and Wiki PinePhone prototype in August ; software coming along ANSI keyboard for Pinebook Pro ; new features / upgrades ; pre-orders this summer PineTab M.2 optional adapter ; 64GB eMMC ; pre-orders this summer New boards in the pipeline ; AI SBC/SOM of interest to us Housekeeping As many of you have probably noticed the forum has gotten an update.
