And Vivaldi works on Raspberry Pi.Apart from a small note, if it is already a Do it yourself communicator, when mounting the screen, there is the possibility, instead of putting the polarized folio on the screen at the end, to cut it out and insert it into old glasses, where the crystals have been removed before. This causes that only those who wear these glasses can see the content of the screen, everyone else only sees a white screen. Good added security measure.

Tried the new Cosmo, it does impress. Wish there was some ÆØÅ buttons. The secondary display could maybe be e-ink. My sticking point is however the MediaTek SoC. Similar drawback to the fairphone 3, which has a Qualcomm SoC. Performed like any Android phone for me the short while I tried it.

@Jon What do you think about the Dragonbox Pyra? We are discussing which browser to ship, and I wish Vivaldi was libre software like the rest of the software stack. Is it legal to just ship it without an agreement? It does run the best of the browsers tested so far.

Hi @kingu ,

The availability of the Norwegian keys depends on the keyboard you select. Clearly they are not where you are used to having them, but they still are there on the correct language keyboard. You just have to use a modifier.

The Dragonbox Pyra looks nice to me. We would be happy for you to bundle Vivaldi. There are already a number of Linux distros that bundle Vivaldi or have it in their app stores.

Cheers,
Jon.

Hmm... Looks familiar. Something like the Psion or another gadget running Windows CE?
I'll have to go through my antique drawers to see if I can find it.
