Just to ask, is it important to be European, or is it enough to be non-american?
I mean… Samsung is a South Korean company and has great tablets. Software will be American whatever device you buy.
Everywhere where human rights are upheld and democracy is valued is fine. But, I think Europe should have those industries. So, I try to buy european.
The Volla Tablet looks pretty cool. 12 GB RAM and dual boot of a degoogled Android and Ubuntu Touch. 700 for the tablet plus 150 for a folding keyboard, plus 50 for the pen.
Sadly the pen doesn’t work with Ubuntu Touch. Otherwise this might be a nice machine for painting with Krita.
The display cleaner is cute and lovely. I might just get that and use it with my other machines
At the moment, this would be the frontrunner. But, it has been on the market for ~a year and they only guarantee “at least 5 years” of software updates. So for the price and with sustainability in mind this seems a very short time. I have to contact them for more information…
It is at least 5 years and there might be a custom rom for it, at some point.
You can already use Ubuntu touch if the Volla OS is no longer serviced. I am critical on a very high level, but I really hate e-waste through software obsolescence.
Special entry for murena, they are not producing anything but they sell degoogeled stuff from european companys (Fairphone, Shiftphone and Volla). Although, this does not make a whole lot of sense for Volla because they already have two google free operating systems (one based on android).
I wish Fairphone would do one. And a watch.
I wish Fairphone made a Pebble watch
What I’d like to see, in part to speed up the development time, and also because collaboration is nice, is for FairPhone to make a “fair” version of the PineTab (V2 of course) and PineTime.
Perhaps reMarkable? It’s a Norwegian company.
Alternatively; StarLite, from StarLabs, a UK company.
Theres Pine64 which seems to be headquatered in Poland.It’s not, Pine64EU is just a European store for Pine64 products. The Pine64 organization making the actual tablets is based in Hong Kong.
Damn, that’s right. Theres a notable figure of Pine in Poland and I somehow ended up with the impression he’s running the show…
Nokia has some!
Nokia / HMD tablets are trash. Like literally trash. I had the T20 and T21 as my company needed a ton for the workers in the field. We moved away from them ASAP. They are extremely slow and full of bugs. Avoid at all costs.
I haven’t found any recent one. They had them until 2021 if I am not mistaken…
