Happy days!

Is there a power supply needing to be bought with this? Or a standard USB charger is enough to charge the PineTab with the supplied cable? I noticed the plug size is different to the standard ones in the store.
Is it a standard eMMC that the "USB Adapter for eMMC Module" can be used?

Thanks!

In addition to the power supply question, is the expansion board going to be available for LTE?

Hello,

will Pine64 donate a pinetab to LibreElec (jernej) so we will see LibreElec on the Pinetab? If LibreElec support is planned, I definitely will buy one.

Thanks.

If LibreELEC devs need a Tab to develop for, I believe they can contact Luke or tllim directly. There is already a LibreELEC fro the a64 (same hardware as the Tab) so getting the existing image working on the Tab should be pretty trivial for them.

Safe to say Jernej can get any toy he asks for. I cannot see why a dedicated LE build would be ideal for the device tho... why not just use KODI in an existing OS?

Hey, this is nice.
But why is the shipping to germany 27 USD (not even DHL Express, which is 35 USD, but that's always expensive)?
I don't see how the shipping costs can exceed 10 USD (including insurance) for such an affordable device. Aren't you shipping from China?

This being the only thing that really excited me in last year's announcements, my order is IN! Super looking forward to this.

I'm thinking about overhead and kids.  To be honest I have a Pine64+ running Manjaro with the Mate desktop and it's good for what it is but that's all.  No Ooo's and Wauw's, but more the sound of thicking fingers on the table...
By the other hand, a dedicated OS as LE or LAKKA would be OK for the kids in the car for example.  It should be a good reason to justify another toy for me to play with while it has a functional purpose for the kids.

I would be glad to port LE to the pinetab, but I have already a lot of projects I'm working on (for example Manjaro on the Pine64+ and PineH64).  So the little free time I have after work, I have to share to family, housekeeping and projects.  So I really don't dare to ask a pinetab for development...

Edit: Seems Jernej has already a PineTab and did already some testing.

When will a non-ubuntu batch be up for order ?
( That is ether no OS or possibly a Mobian OS )
