With all the excited responses to this post a feel like a fool because I don't understand how one would go about using this. Admittedly I'm knew this type of product, but I want to be excited too or at least be able to come up with some use cases where I can make an informed choice on whether this product is useful or not. Is there a list or site with ideas on how to make use of products like this?


Me too, I can’t think of a situation where this would be useful although I’d like to hear how others would use it


So one possible use case. At least for me and other people that want quick access to a terminal without having to fire up a notebook or pc.


ssh into your home computer through your phone or use Termux if you're on android


Termux used to be really nice but it's fairly broken now if you installed it from google play.


... don't install it from google play then. "Problem" solved.


Pocket showrunner device for my studio. Control lights, the ATEM switch, check status etc. A kind of super remote that is open.


If you're trying to trim down on phone time, but still want to be somewhat contactable?

I guess this would require a phone with a WiFi hotspot when you're out and about, but if you're at home and not wanting to reach for that phone this device could help.


If you could install, e.g., Mobian, you would get a full desktop Linux in your pocket with a nice interface.
