Edit Reason: another brainstorm
)
Well I backed a kickstarter for something similar, which has stalled, and I'm in if you all want build me a few! The thought of a comms device without a cell plan/connection just seems smart. Seems battery life might be improved on this device, wifi/voip calling would be very handy for traveling. I'm not familiar with LoRa, but it sounds useful.
GPS that doesn't 'phone home' is a positive, as a camera. Someone suggested E-ink which would be power pinching, but I'm not sure if a camera would be useful then. Bluetooth for hands free use, maybe.
Wifi 'walkie talkie' feature while on a local network would be useful in warehouses, campus settings, etc. Sorry I'm brainstorning now.
Yup, I'd buy them.
Thanks for your time.
edit: Combine this with a BT keyboard and it could be a portable terminal as well! More possibilities that the WiPhone project.
