In mobile FOSS computing, Pyra is The Handheld PC, and GTA04 is The Smartphone. Both being developed partially by same people. Both working with generic recent ARM Debian Linux and recent kernels. Kernels have some non-mainlined parts due to scarcity of engineering resources, but all features are forward-ported on each release and even RC of mainline Linux.

My personal expectations from Pyra are very high.

I still have my openpandora from the first preorder batch, it delivered almost all expectations I had for it and sometimes even went beyond battery life got pushed further than 10+hours and had a memory upgrade.

I have no doubt the pyra will deliver.
