Does Volla really have no mention anywhere of how long there will be upgrades?
“At least 5 years”
Ah, now I see it. Thank you.
Not great, not terrible. The dual booting is an interesting feature, but comes at quite a price.
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.
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.
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).
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…
