Mecha Comet Modular Linux Handheld at

[@aquilmk4773]

Products like this are what we need, hopefully we will see more powerful hardware in the future

[@Tokga-m5r]

I ordered uconsole

[@k1ng_chicken]

Yeah. Don’t need these trashy mega-corps spying on your every move. Spewing advertisements and mind sucking apps down every corner. Need a good, simple, open source phone-computer the owner actually controls.

[@duplicake4054]

Yeah, I'd like this to have a qualcomm snapdragon chip in the future.

[@novh4ck]

@@duplicake4054 Those have absolutely no official support for Linux. A quite bad choice for such a device.

to build something like this in these times is a feat in itself.Awesome job.

[@DanielMonteiroNit]

Everything being open source is just the (very desirable) cherry on the top of the cake. I would honestly settle for a Android device that did half of that

[@PterPmntaM]

Did you remember what happened the last time a company tried to do the same thing?

[@AmanMishra-j2e]

​@@PterPmntaMwhich company are you talking about ?

[@h1_wintermail]

Capitalists will always find a way to make money off stuff. Android itself started as an open-source project, and now smartphone makers preload their own bloatware and exaggerate the rest of the changes to the OS so that they can justify their own version of Android.

[@PterPmntaM]

@@h1_wintermail Yes I hate bloatware, but, the project that I think, was which google bought and bury and some storage on the company place.

[@ShaffafAhmed]

best project in CES this year.

[@Neet25-fo4kf]

True

[@aidenboyd6386]

Dang they must've had a crap line up this year

[@serbaserbi666]

Bulky and changeable Battery.. I love it

[@Sourav_Debnath]

great for any cybersecurity on the go hacking

[@DezFutak]

💌 the founder's approach on all fronts. So refreshing to see someone who really understands how to launch stuff & provide incredible value in their products. Hope they're super-successful with this initial product.

[@TheTechMachina]

The sheer potential of this device is intriguing.

[@TheHawk425]

The CEO seems really cool, obviously this is still rough around the edges but i am intrigued to see what they can come up with as a final product.

[@kiranmantha928]

I would like to see this guy writing articles on how to create an os from the kernel

[@anurag_verma_youtube]

Why?

[@RootSystemHash]

Why not?

[@earth2k66]

Making a new distro or a flavour of an existing Linux distro is easy because a Linux was designed to be fully modular in mind.

[@sabanazeer926]

Having an allen key inside is SO COOL!!

[@ShaunakHub]

What a product! Hope it succeeds. And having an nvme slot is just an icing on the cake!

[@nandans2506]

159 is not bad at all. These can sell well, I'm a developer myself and would love to pick one up even if i don't have any perticular use case for it

[@dcherryholmes]

Thank you for this video. Your insightful questions provided me with more details about the device than any other CES video I've seen yet.

[@nightshade427]

this is rad, this mecha guy is awesome too

[@NeoTechni]

he seems nice

[@CrescentRollCarl]

I just ordered the Pilet 5. This looks really nice for a similar device. I'm very excited for these handhelds. I love what they've done with the UI.

[@GreyWindowsBrokenSpoke]

We need this to take off as the only options now are two giants Android/ i-Phone . This module could be improved with a hdmi port , imagine getting home and using this to watch tv and make calls right from your couch!

[@Marta1Buck]

This will be a great second phone

[@phasis7245]

The CEO looks like a nice and smarth person! I hope this project have the attention that deserves!

[@TJ-vh2ps]

This is very cool and a great example of what CES is really for.

[@nacs]

This looks amazing for such a small form factor and running a full Debian OS. The presenter/founder is clearly a Linux fan and not just a big company executive-drone which is nice.

[@Android-Zen]

I know nothing about Linux, but I’m definitely intrigued. Wish it had a headphone jack too.

[@HiteshP-l7v]

even me. But for very different reasons- I think this is going to blow up and all kinds of geeks and DIYers are going to be using this for so many use cases. This combined with the power of AI might just turn out to be a thing of the future.

[@robollama8612]

I absolutely will be backing this project. Can't wait.

[@SpaceLifeMo]

This products is fantastic this is why we need devices like this that is fresh out of the box. Great work.

[@l0hja]

awesome time to be alive

[@zazzycupcake]

I love the Aesthetic of super efficient and simple like Linux is. I remember back when they had Flux and OpenBox where you could make your computer look much more minimal and beautiful than Apple where everything you needed was just a right-click of the mouse. Right-click = Start Menu of Programs & Settings. You didn't need a tool bar or anything.

[@MandrakeDCR]

Funny thing is, you could slap a 4G/5G modem in this, install linphone, and have a better phone then most of the linux phones people are trying to make these days, and still have your fully functional linux device. :)

[@nivmhn]

Insane possibilities.

[@RiteshKumarPanda]

3-4 hours battery life though and with constant network it will be even less

[@arcticfox037]

@@RiteshKumarPanda He said 4 hours at full power, full brightness

[@driftking5503]

Mecha is the best tech at CES so far.

[@Omi_Kasigi]

I seriously want one of these. Having a device like this will let me "pen-test" a lot of things. :D

[@sabanazeer926]

This company is going to be BIG! And from India, I am so proud 🥲

[@_mishi]

this is soooo cool, I dont buy things I dont have an immediate use for usually, but this is something I would buy just because of coolness factor and im sure I can find good use for it. Its a portable computer

[@kepler314]

¡Esto es el cielo en vida para los que usamos Linux!

[@mistermudit]

Dude wants to make the Star Trek Tricorder (a mini computer essentially) a reality! Props to him!

[@DISCO-munication]

lol that was my thought as well

[@raMmpage18]

I will not be surprised if this guy added a quantum chip module in the future.

[@googleguy-ft8xh]

The possibilities are literally endless. Imagine this with a DAW and a drum pad.

[@aidenboyd6386]

Just get a Mac mini you fool

[@MarzMindset]

Amazing, more of this and I will buy it!

[@ultraprimez]

That how you things easy for everone in future. As i live in India, i am definitely gonna buy the pro version.

[@DavidStevens765]

Can't wait to support this project on day 1

[@Larimuss]

Add a 4g receiver, IR, rfid, wifi, and Bluetooth and it would be great.

[@64offsuiter]

Yep. RFID, WiFi and usb-c

[@JasonBrossa]

Open source Linux this is revolutionary. H1B visas in action

[@new-bp6ix]

I love the idea of this being like a laptop but phone-sized. It would be amazing if it had the exact dimensions of a real phone and included a docking station to transform it into a full computer

[@RootSystemHash]

This guy is a real geek.

[@sandrosandro6430]

Like to see hinged keyboard part which can be folded back double as a stand

[@SolarPoweredPerson]

CES this year was surprisingly good, yet this stole the show BY FAR. March can't come soon enough

[@SlushiePlayer]

Im gonna buy the Mecha Comet so i can make it like a linux phone or probably just might use it for testing different linux distributions, or maybe i could even code some mini programs on the device, the possibilities just feels endless in my perspective, I’m optimistic.

[@RolandHiscutt-r9k]

Modular cellular devices won't reach the masses but definitely my kind of device.

[@fabriglas]

I'd love one with 4g and possibly a way to make the battery last longer

[@shoaibmerchant6149]

You can actually, its a standard connector. You would just need 3d print the back cover with a bump

[@shoaibmerchant6149]

We may even publish cad templates

[@aditya-tech]

this entrepreneur has designed a way powerful device than a gun. It's compact and easy to inject more to that runs Linux.

[@halfey]

I hope they will be successful enough to make a second version of the hardware. I wouldn't mind using it as a phone if it can take a SIM module.

[@jungletraderbee]

I would get one, waiting for this.

[@adlius1736]

You can get some kind of linux on your android phones using termux, however this is on a different level

[@sohailmd123]

Please guys don't stop this project midway...ppl don't make it to end because of insufficient funds... its US so hopefully that won't happen

[@williamhart4896]

Dang that was the timing that I was waiting for so kickstarter in March sub 200$ I know I want one it would be the perfect replacement for a pocket chip

[@swift7169]

[@StephCromier_sorath72]

When I saw doom as a game you can play on the device I'm like. GOTTA have it now :)

[@zestygunner]

Cant wait for this to replace smartphone in future.

[@famitory]

i hope they sell the accessories on their own as well, i would love to have that keyboard as a bluetooth/usb device! all the other handheld keyboards are way too big!

[@v8isgross]

[@infasis]

I'm picky when it comes to controllers and stuff, but I'd love a highly polished version of this, or something similar with a big community and enough owners where companies would have incentive to make their own 3rd party add-ons

[@Idfkwhyy]

[@rk-bumbum]

I love the passion and I'm sad for things like 5G (because of the certificate?) being kind of too hard to implement. I mean, I don't need 5G while I'm very picky otherwise (and I don't think this is modular design enough).

[@CruiseTom-rz8qu]

This is exactly what we need but probably with an Android. So that we don't have to evolve all the apps ecosystem, which is already present in Android.
