    Cute, but what problem does this solve? Regardless of what you feel about any particular platform, consolidating multiple pieces of functionality into the highly integrated smartphone platform was a major step forward in mobility. This just feels like a regression.

    • Below you will find my highly researched list of advantages over the typical smartphone:

      • Headphone jack
      • Mucho storage space
      • Works without internet connection
      • Free software purity (I don’t know, ask RMS)
      • Coolness

        Tbf you can still get a phone with a headphone jack, and with a ton of space. Not that you need a crazy amount for music anyway.

        Also confused about the internet connection part. Even if you only use music streaming services, most let you download your music for offline listening.
