So I now have my RePhone, which is great seeing as how I cracked the shit out of my S3. It’s still usable, just not as pretty. Unfortunately, this means it’s go time. Figure I just renewed Virgin, so I have until the month for sure. My S3 still works, so it’s not really pushing on me. But go time.
Is estimate the breakout is:
80% text
15% pictures
5% phone
You’re probably noticing that I didn’t mention during the web. Well, I’m working away from that. That’s why. I want to do shit. Not just read shit. So now the question is what. I guess that doesn’t make sense. Right. Design goals.
Phone-ish size.
Screen I can type on.
Ability to take a shitty picture.
Ability to text the picture.
Battery life is negotiable. As long as I can get, and send, texts after 10 hours of mostly standby, it’s chill.
So I’m thinking, grab a handy SBC, and a bigger LCD, and a touchscreen.
Probably be like a Samsung Note, but four times thicker and heavier. I think I should repurpose the wood from one of my cigar boxes for the case. Probably add a little matching lid to keep the screen from breaking. A stylus so I get more bang for my buck on screen size. I’m not really worried about the screen size, but the screen power consumption.
I should probably start by doing anything with the RePhone, and going from there.
Peter's stuff.
