Lets create the PineCom
I like the idea of a low-power, low-speed network for communicating over a good distance, but I am not fussy about what protocol is used. Obviously lower cost and greater ability to communicate over long distances, with the ability to jack into wifi and run many common linux or android apps would be cool - and I am a big proponent of alternative networking methods on general principle and maybe as something to take hiking, camping, etc - good closeup speeds would be important but it wouldn't take much to communicate, say, GPS coordinates, text or light pictures, or similar. This is a long thread and there are obviously a lot of ideas here. I am definitely interested.

I also really like the idea of making the device decent as a music player, that way I could use this for music in the car and take it out to communicate, and it doesn't seem like it would be super expensive to ensure that the audio was decent and not too hard to support. It also wouldn't require notably more CPU or battery use.

it doesn't get happy
it doesn't get sad
it just runs programs
