## Source excerpt

Welcome to what will likely be remembered as the most important community update of 2021. Today we're introducing the PinePhone Pro and announcing that both PinePhone Pro and PineNote pre-orders are now open to developers. I am well aware that this announcement will overshadow everything else that I may wish to report on, so I intentionally chose not to include other exciting news in this post. I will write a follow-up piece covering other topics later this month - stay tuned. But that's not all. All PineTime owners ought to read this month's update concerning InfiniTime. The firmware recently received updates which significantly improve the user experience and BLE connection stability. JF also writes about the project's growth and ongoing project management restructuring. You can watch the synopsis of this month's community update on YouTube (embedded below) as well as on Odysee and PeerTube.
