Planet Astro Slide
Planet Computers just announced a new IndieGoGo campaign, this time for a slider with full Psion-style keyboard. Community Linux support also promised, didn't see Sailfish mentioned this time. Looks very good.

Re: Planet Astro Slide
This new phone has Android 10 but SailfishOS HADK uses AOSP 9.0 and there is no HADK which uses AOSP 10 for this moment.

Re: Planet Astro Slide
This time the release is scheduled for the next year, so this may change.

1yr to deliver..probably learning from gemini/cosmo.
But these 2 earlier, have been basically crap. Why would they be any different now i think..so i will pass |
Re: Planet Astro Slide
Cosmo is much better built than Gemini - I have both and can compare. The only downside is the wretched second screen. :)
Planet lately released their Linux for Cosmo which works rather nicely. There are some bugs, but much much better than what we had on Gemini. EDIT: Oh, and this processor has DisplayPort support, so no hacks to get it on big screens. I hope this works better for Linux too. |
Re: Planet Astro Slide
Well this is so much more compelling then the last 2 models. I'm impress with the specs and the keyboard design. Also the actual use looks to be a bit clunky compared to Pro1, but will need to see more.
Though the longevity of that design will need to be tested. I guess they felt the competition from FX :) I'm excited for more competition and this I think gives people who want larger keys to type on a choose. Just a bit thinker, 16.4(W) x 7.66cm(D) x 1.5(H)cm. I'm not in it for Android, but would this mean that it would get the full sailfish from Jolla. this could be cool. Here are some pics https://c1.iggcdn.com/indiegogo-medi...c8pvien5gs.jpg Video of the design: https://player.vimeo.com/video/401654073 |
Re: Planet Astro Slide
Does anyone have a picture showing the underside of the opened device; how is the sliding mechanism actually working? Can it be robust enough?

Re: Planet Astro Slide
There is a video on indiegogo showing a prototype in action.

Re: Planet Astro Slide
In this forum I think that most users might be more interested in Pinephone that will get a similiar keyoard later as an addon.
