I made some progress with development, but I am thinking I'd like to work with something a bit more powerful like the new PineTab2. Are there any plans to release an EU batch of pineTab2 devices? I can you have US stock, but with $40 shipping, plus probably ~70EUR import processing fees, it makes the device quite expensive.
The regular PinePhone's Polish warehouse option is pretty much an exception, which was implemented for testing the concept. Doubt that more devices will be added there, especially as the pine64eu.com store now exists. The EU store is always an option, though with the service and warranty it comes with a higher price, so importing from China is the cheapest option most of the time.
Mind that we're the PINE64 community here, the Pine Store is its own entity and has its own domain. In the community we also don't have much insight in internal plans and processes of the Pine Store. And the Pine Store is located in China, not the US.
