Lets create the PineCom
#67
Quote:1. Do we need both a front and back camera on the PineCom? In fact, do we need any cameras at all? 

I feel like a device that is aimed at communication should have an inside camera for stuff like video calls. An outside camera is always extremely useful for taking pictures.

Quote: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?

Personally I would like that hardware upgrade if it is not too much trouble.

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

GPS is always extremely useful for navigation. If we are imagining people using this for alternative long range communication, there is good chances they will want to use it somewhere where there is no mobile service. A backup navigational system could provide incredibly useful.
Obviously the device could just generally double as navigational system for a car for example.

Quote:5. 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 would opt for something smaller like 4,7" or lower. Getting the device width to 67mm or lower makes it actually usable with one hand without shifting it around.
