Why if one OS isn't ready, you should not deliver the other ones?

I think you misread the statement. "If at least one OS distribution is not ready by February, this will delay general availability production" means that if there is not at least one OS (in other words: if there are zero available OS).

@Fla said in PinePhone:

So we have many information about the PinePhone hardware on this thread, but as we are on the UT forum, I was expecting some UT devs to indicate and keep us up-to-date with the status of UT on the PinePhone.

Well, let's ask

PINE64

@B2288 That is correct. In short, if there is no end-user ready OS build by Feb 2020, then there is no real point in starting a large production-run.
As for what the status of the different OS' as of today - reach out to relevant developers.

I really like the colours and the little squares... This is THE picture of the summer !!

The scale looks a bit big to me but awesome work! I might consider buying the PinePhone as my daily driver

@kugiigi The scale is probably the default from our device setup and can be changed anytime

@kugiigi haha I was thinking the reverse. With my eyesight and clumsy fingers, that scale would be great!

Updated the OP with mention (from a recent wiki update) of charging being to USB PD specifications. I don't actually know enough about USB PD or USB charging in general to know if that's significant, but I put it there for the benefit of those who do know.

As far as I know, PD means power delivery and it's capable of delivering more power and in both ways, meaning you can charge your phone or your phone can your something else.

Hi guys. The PinePhone is now real, developer pre-orders this month. Two enthusiast production-runs this year (Oct & Nov): https://www.pine64.org/2019/09/05/september-update-the-pinephone-is-real-shipping-soon/

@PINE64 Excellent and exciting news and as normal very informative. Watching development very intently

Many updates to the OP in the last five or six bullet points, as well as some new images and video links from Lukasz's update, and also of course a direct link to that update, which is an absolute gold mine of great info.

@PINE64 , many thanks for keeping us all in the loop. This is exciting news!

PINE64

Very glad to see everyone as excited as we are. We cannot wait to hear what developers say when they get their units this month / early October. Also thank you for all the support from this community!

@PINE64 It's time to put the ol' Xiaomi Mi A1 on eBay in preparation! Can't wait. So many OS options....

So I get that USB PD means quick charging, which is good. It's been a while since I read the whole topic, but I don't think it's been mentioned; with USB-C, does it mean this device could potentially support convergence?
