It previews RK3566 boards for developers, community infrastructure work, retail stores, and updates to PineTime's InfiniTime software. ### Source excerpt Welcome to the last community update of the year. I want to start this month's update by thanking everyone who helped us make this challenging year a fruitful and successful one. A special thanks goes to the core community team - our mods and admins - who keep the cogs spinning on a daily basis. Marek (gamiee) and Matthew (fire219) have done an incredible job this year reworking our community-facing infrastructure; this is something which was long overdue and is now appreciated by tens of thousands of end-users. I also want to thank our partner projects - UBports, postmarketOS, Manjaro and KDE Community in particular - for working with us tirelessly to make the PinePhone, PineTab and Pinebook Pro a success. We literally couldn't have done it without you. Special thanks also goes out to the independent contributors whose work continuously assists partner projects in building OSes for our platforms. Finally, I want to say thank you to the Pine64 community at large. We deeply appreciate you all for being the end-users who make this project thrive. I would be remiss not to acknowledge and thank the members of Pine Store's logistics, sales and shipping teams who delivered tens of thousands of PinePhones and Pinebook Pros throughout 2020; this was no small feat I assure you.

It also gives an expected shipping window, confirms finalized CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications, describes the 6000mAh lithium-ion battery, and notes testing of LTE/SSD and LoRa adapter samples. ### Source excerpt This is a supplementary post to this month's Community Update - if you haven't read this month's news, then I suggest you go back and have a read since we've had a handful of interesting announcements. Regarding the PineTab, I am happy to let you know that production is well under way and we are mostly on schedule with the manufacturing and shipping processes. To be precise, we are just a week behind the original schedule; the cause of the delay is our decision to change the LCD panel driver (or perhaps more accurately, we were convinced to exchange the panel driver by the vendor) as the driver we originally chose is reaching end of life (EoL). We ultimately decided that a week's delay is worth it. The alternative scenario would likely result in developers supporting multiple LCD drivers in their operating systems, which is not ideal. Here are the details of the current timeline. Finished PCBAs will be released to us from the factory on the 27th and, granted we're happy with them, fully assembled tablets should be dispatched from the production line on August 6th or 7th. The PineTabs will make their way to Hong Kong soon after and I expect that shipping will commence the week of August 17-21. Closer to the shipping date, sometime early next month, I'll open a shipping thread on the forum which you'll be able to follow. I am also pleased to announce that CE, FCC and RoHS certifications for the PineTab have already been finalized and the reports are now being written up. All reports will be completed in time for shipping and relevant certificates will be submitted to Wiki as soon as they are made available to us. As I mentioned in the past, we have significantly improved the battery from earlier hardware iterations. The PineTab ships with a 6000mAh Cobalt in lithium-ion battery, which not only provides a long battery life for the tablet but also superior discharge-cycle battery longevity. Investing into core components such as the battery is part of our commitment to ## PinePhone UBports Community Edition Pre-Orders Now Open DevFeed: [PinePhone UBports Community Edition Pre-Orders Now Open]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2020-04-02T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pinephone](), [Operating system](), [Development]() Tags: [announce](), [community](), [community-edition](), [fcc](), [orders](), [pcb](), [pine64](), [pinephone](), [product](), [ubports](), [v1]() ### AI overview PINE64 announced that the PinePhone UBports Community Edition was available for pre-order, with estimated shipping in late May 2020. The edition includes UBports' operating system, a customized case, a revised v1.2 PCB, and CE and FCC certification; profits from sales are to be donated to the UBports Foundation. ### Source excerpt PinePhone UBports Community Edition mock-up; final product may differ in appearance. I am proud to announce that the PinePhone UBports Community Edition is now available for pre-order with an estimated shipping date of late-May, 2020. Community editions are meant to bring exposure to partner-projects operating systems and communities, as well as help finance ongoing development. UBports were some of the very first to embrace our initiative and to offer support for the PinePhone. Together with their friends and colleagues from other projects, UBports developers have now become an integral part of PINE64, actively shaping our goals and aspirations. It is therefore fitting that UBports Foundation will be the first partner in our Community Edition scheme, in which we will ship a customized PinePhone with UBports' operating system and donate all profit from sales to the foundation (more information on the scheme here). The PinePhone UBports Community Edition ships with a customized case (etched with the project's mascot - Yumi), a revised PCB (v1.2) featuring improvements based on feedback from Braveheart developers and testers, as well as CE and FCC certification.
