The Dasung Paperlike 103 is a 10.3 inch E Ink monitor with a 60 Hz refresh rate. After debuting in China in January it's getting a global launch soon via an upcoming Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Expect some image ghosting and a high price tag. https://buff.ly/3D1vX7M

AYANEO Classic will (probably) be a tiny gaming handheld with simplified controllers #Ayaneo, #AyaneoClassic, #AyaneoPocketMicro, #HandheldGameConsole, #PocketMicro

Looks like a pretty big update for this open source desktop environment developed by Linux PC company System76.

Nothing Phone 3(a) and 3(a) Pro specs and photos leaked ahead of launch, pointing to an interesting set of mid-range phones with premium features including triple cameras for both models, but a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip.

This DIY handheld combines two Raspberry Pi Pico boards (one for CPU and one for GPU) with a keyboard and 5 inch display. But the real reason to watch the video is for Abe's near-deadpan description of the complicated build process.

Fedora Linux adds support for RISC-V CPU architecture. There are Fedora 41-based images available for RISC-V boards and virtual machines. Fedora also continues to support x86_64, Arm, PowerPC, and IBM Z (s390x) architecture.

This add-on board for the uConsole (a modular handheld terminal computer with a QWERTY keyboard) that adds a software-defined radio, LoRA, and GPS as well as a USB hub and real time clock. Coming soon for $79.

Ink Console is a handheld game console with an E Ink display and a focus on interactive stories (Crowdfunding) #DanaPuch, #EInk, #GreenBoyGames, #HandheldGameConsole, #InkConsole, #InteractiveNovel, #InteractiveStory, #TextAdventure, #TextGames

The Sony PlayStation Portable supports 802.11b WiFi, but when it first shipped it only supported WEP security. Sony added support for WPA-TKIP and WPA-PSK via firmware updates. But 20 years after launch, an *unofficial* firmware update adds WPA2 support.

Intel says it wants a bigger piece of the handheld gaming PC pie and is hiring folks to help support handhelds, providing hardware dev kits to game makers, and expects Arrow Lake-H and Panther Lake powered handhelds in the future.

Chip designer Arm has historically licensed its designs to other companies without manufacturing any chips itself. But that could soon change: Arm reportedly plans to launch a server chip for Meta this year, putting it in direct competition with licensees. https://buff.ly/4gFacs3?

Lilbits: New Apple hardware, Asahi Linux shakeup, Android 16 Beta 2, and Amazon makes backing up Kindle eBooks tougher, #Amazon, #Android, #Android16, #Apple, #AppleSilicon, #AsahiLinux, #Ebooks, #Foldables, #Google, #IphoneSe, #Kindle, #Lilbits, #Linux, #Oneplus, #OppoFindN5

Amazon is ending support for downloading Kindle eBooks to a PC and transferring to a Kindle via USB. Multiple users in the US report seeing a message saying the feature will go away on Feb 26. You can still transfer via WiFi, but this removes a useful tool for storing local backups.

Android 16 Beta 2 brings new camera APIs including hybrid auto-exposure (letting you adjust some settings manually), finer controls over color temperature and tint adjustments, UltraHDR image enhancements, and the ability to select when a motion photo is captured.

OnePlus launched its OnePlus Open foldable phone in 2023 and a premium "Apex Edition" model in 2024. But the company says it does NOT plan to launch a new foldable in 2025 (which means that there won't be a rebranded Oppo Find N5 coming to the US anytime soon).

Asahi Linux founder Hector Martin has resigned from the project, but a group of 7 devs will take over leadership of this project that brings Linux to Apple laptops and desktops with M series processors. 2025 roadmap includes DisplayPort Alt Mode, DirectX 12, and internal mic support.

Apple is introducing new hardware on Feb 19. Rumor has it that it could be a next-gen iPhone SE, but we could also see a new AirTag and maybe even a next-gen Apple Vision Pro or MacBook Air.

Apple is reportedly planning to launch an Apple TV+ app for Android, because trying to build a subscriber base while excluding the world's most widely used OS was always kind of a weird thing to do. There's already an Apple Music app for Android.

Kickstarter introduces Pledge Over Time, which lets backers split a pledge into 4 payments and promises to include more details about a creator's track record on project pages, and notify backers when a project fails / a creator fails to follow the rules.

Google IO is scheduled for May 20 and 21, and will likely use its annual developer conference to highlight new and upcoming features in its Android operating system and Gemini AI service, among other things.

Pixel 9a leak shows a new design that replaces the camera bar found on other recent Pixel phones with a pair of cameras that sit flush with the back of the phone. It's expected to have a 5100 mAh battery, $499 starting price, and come in four color options.
