Lets create the PineCom

[vituous]

1. Do we need both a front and back camera on the PineCom? In fact, do we need any cameras at all?
   I have always lamented the cameras which cost money and inevitably find tape on them. No cameras!This is a Linux or BSD device, so I could potentially just plug in a web cam anyway.
2. Should we bring over all sensors present on the PinePhone? If so, which do you think we can do without?
   Communication not navigation. I don't think you need any of the sensory devices.
3. Should we use the same single band/11n/BT4 WiFi module in the PinePhone (for compatibility sake) or change it out for a dual band/11ac/BT5?
   I would recommend upgrading now instead of later.
4. Should the device feature a GPS (and compass) or are those features redundant in this type of device?
   GPS gone with modem, that is okay. 
5. Should we include SPI flash?
   I'm not sure about that one.
6. We are currently considering following the PinePhone’s general design and aesthetic for the PineCom.
   Standard phone design is good, no camera could increase the screen/body ratio and make the phone nice and compact.
7. We’re currently thinking of using a 5” LCD panel for the PineCom; what do you think about this - is there a reason to go bigger or smaller?
   I think slightly bigger might be nice... like 5.3"... especially if the screen/body ratio is higher than the original Pinephone.Worth noting, when you choose the modem, I would make sure it supports variable power output levels.I would also suggest looking into an LCD screen. The new Casio calculator screens are LCD and pretty cool.With similar specs, this device could be a very low power, low cost, high security communications device. I know some government workers are not allowed to bring cameras into their facilities.Thank you for considering.
