Lets create the PineCom
#19

  1. Do we need both a front and back camera on the PineCom? In fact, do we need any cameras at all? 
    IMHO the device should have a camera on the back, for example to scan QR codes and such.
  2. Should we bring over all sensors present on the PinePhone? If so, which do you think we can do without?

    Light sensor could be useful for auto-brightness or auto-contrast.


  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?

    Please don't. Realtek chips are awful with Linux.


  4. Should the device feature a GPS (and compass) or are those features redundant in this type of device? 

    I'm for it, either as a module or onboard.


  5. Should we include SPI flash?
    Unless it increases the cost significantly, yes.
  6. We are currently considering following the PinePhone’s general design and aesthetic for the PineCom, but if there is some sort of physical (within reason - also financially) that you think would fit this type of device well then make sure to let us know.  
    Just don't make it look like a brick.
  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? 
    Users might have issues interacting with less-optimized apps on a smaller-than-5" display.
