PineNote eInk Tablet Announced

Lukasz Erecinski, on pine64.org:

  • Announcing the PineNote, one of the most powerful devices of its kind on the market
  • Quartz64 based; specs include — fast refresh e-ink panel with multiple frontlight settings, RK3566, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 128GB eMMC flash storage
  • Wacom panel compatible with many EMR pens: we will offer our own
  • Available this year for $399; early adopters batch includes EMR pen + magnetic cover (later sold separately)

Similar as the android e-ink devices, this platform is far from user ready. Yet I’m still extremely happy that this category exists and continues to grow.

And of course, I dream of the day someone ports NewtonOSis to it.
