The range might not be perfect, but the option would be nice. I like the idea to make it HW extendible, but maybe some pogo pins (external or internal) might already be an option. Or and internal USB header.

Edit Reason: Fixed wording

Thinking about the docking station, perhaps something slightly simpler can be made:
That way, the cost would be reduced and leave the choice of what might be added to the user. Ideally, the recessed gold dots / pogo pins would be for USB 3 speeds. Instead of 4 contacts, it would be 10:

I would pay the higher price for the version with a 3g/5g modem, but I will still buy the device without it. It would just be a neat feature for those who don't want to have to carry a phone along with it.

a camera would be nice for scanning documents and qr/bar codes. even something like the 2mp pinephone front camera would suffice for my usecase since it would ve monochrome and close up, so graininess and green tint wouldnt be an issue.

I’m not sure if this is too late for input.
I would request a port to allow LoRA and at minimum have a GPS. From reading the forum i know people are interested in reading from their books but that’s why there is a kindle or boox. This is a pine device allow us to have hardware on off controls just like the pine64. This device outside of reading a book could allow the users to access topographical maps for those who enjoy the great outdoors, or being off grid. There was a device years ago called meetearl great idea but the maker could not produce the device and i think that Pine not only has the expertise but can have the drive to make unique devices that you can not normally find a dime a dozen.

The one single thing that made me refrain from purchasing the current PineNote is the absence of an SD card slot.
I already own two Boyue (Note & Mimas) 10" e-ink devices with SD card for pdf reading and consider this feature indispensable. The availability of bootable external SD storage for side loading or creating offline backups is a definite must IMHO.

- gps module for the occasional topographic maps
- barometric sensor to adopt xcsoar flight computer onto an even bigger e-ink screen for paraglider flying (ms5611 or equivalent? idk) - loudspeaker - lora admittedly a bit of a homer simpson car build |
