    Sailfish OS on Pyra?

    Each use case is different of course, but me personally, I would already be a very happy camper with vim, wyrd, ipython, ssh and mercurial-hg all in the command line. Dual and even triple booting has been demonstrated on the Gemini PDA, so that might also be an adaptive solution to varying...

No square brackets [ ], nor accolades { } for programmers, Javascript, CSS, Markdown, LaTeX, ... No backtick ` which is amply...

    Got displays, looking for keymats

    Apropos the keymat; ask the people over at Ikea who manufactured the black silicon rubber PLASTIS ice cube trays for them. http://www.ikea.com/de/de/catalog/products/60146194/
