The Mecha Comet #mobilelinux kickstarter has gone live. Comes with either an IMX8M Plus up to 4GB Ram or a IMX95 up to 8GB Ram. Looks like a really nice linux first device running a downstream 6.12 kernel. It has a m.2 slot which can accept a modem for cell service but no ear piece so calls will be speaker mode only. Cameras are already working using the ISP. Hope they meet their timeline of this year as I can’t wait to get mine.

I ended up backing the IMX95 version, hopefully it can take advantage of @austriancoder amazing work too
-
@Luigi311 I couldn't resist and went with the maxed-out IMX8M version
-
@Luigi311 It's a great concept...are there any stretch goals that would give more reason to pledge?
-
@73ms @Luigi311 it doesn't appear they have much in the way of stretch goals. Most of the work of design and manufacturing has already been done, before the project even launched. It doesn't make sense for them to add new features at this point in development. Right now their only stretch goal is a silicone case at 1 million.

@Luigi311 @austriancoder trying not to succumb to fomo. Went with the more standard version myself. better battery life, and it arrives 4 months sooner

@Luigi311 IIRC, i.MX95 uses ARM Mali G310. @austriancoder
