Lets create the PineCom

[ideograph]

I encourage people to look up the Precursor device by Bunnie et all (betrusted.io), as it is almost exactly the pinecom, but even more comprehensively designed from scratch for security purposes. The first iteration is scheduled to ship at the end of 2021.

GPS should be included, it is not a large security issue as it is a one way communication.
One camera, enough to scan QR codes for 2fa.

Like the Precursor, I think that the pinecom does not need a large screen, and similarly should also pursue a black and white low power screen, either a memory-lcd like the Precursor, or an epaper display, both of which come in small form factors. 

Ideally the device should be compatible with a hardware keyboard. The new pinenote keyboard seems perfect, though I have not used it yet. If, due to differences in dimensions, it would not be designed to work with the pinenote peripherals, something simple like the precursor or a blackberry would be nice, like this tiny tactile mechanical switch keyboard the size of a credit card: https://www.40percent.club/2020/11/feegle-xs.html                                

With a low-power screen and a good touch typing keyboard, a device like this could be an awesome private note taking device, and an ereader.

The perfect pine64 device for me would be an epaper pinephone with pinephone keyboard.
