Nah. I love my palma 2 and can do plenty with it if you accept no cell phone capabilities it's great. I don't see the appeal of a device with worse refresh rate, a keyboard that needlessly eats screen space, and UI that doesn't trust you as a user.
Edit: I suspect people are reacting without knowing wtf a palma 2 is, lol.

What all do you use your Palma for? Can you get any third party apps on it? I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago and it's great for taking notes, but a palm sized eReader has been pretty alluring to me for a while.

I use Aurora store and Fdroid on it. Funny considering direct play store is a selling point of theirs. I mostly use it as an ereader but it's also my work phone since intune doesn't play nice with grapheneos. Being able to fit my ereader in a pocket has been amazing. I rarely leave home without it

You ever try any Spritz reading apps on it? Spritz is an e reading software that displays one word at a time at whatever words per minute you choose. Good for speed reading, but for some reason it's controversial amongst my reading friends lol. My Boox Nova 3 can play videos, so I'm sure the Palma has the refresh rate

I really like the idea but why the fuck is it $400

I bet the frame rate is fine. Response time is the potential issue. I bet it'd reel like frequently pausing an audiobook with old bluetooth earbuds, which is to say vaguely usable.

What do you expect a low-volume phone with an alternative e-paper display to cost?

On the plus side, they can't put AI on that!

wrote last edited by [email protected]I could downvote because we've seen this a lot: underpowered phone that does nothing and costs as much as my Pixel that does everything. Its not technically a scam, but it feels like those magical paper notebooks that supposedly boost your productivity for some reason.
I read the article: $500 and the same battery as my phone. Definitely a scam. I would get one at $100 though.

I meant in the comments. At the time I posted there were only two other comments and both in the negatives, but nothing else. The post was, and still is, decently upvoted.

Oh I understand. I guess bots but its pretty limited by the lack of karma. It could destroy accounts on reddit but not here.

They seem to spend a lot on magazine coverage and little on fulfilling orders in time!
