Mecha Comet is a 6.1″ x 2.9″ x 0.55″ handheld Linux computer "that's truly yours to own, build and mod," with a 6-core ARM CPU, 3.92-inch AMOLED display, 8 megapixel camera and a modular attachment system that lets you swap out keyboard for game controls or an IO breakout board—and whatever else might come to its ecosystem. You can add 5G mobile data, LoraWAN mesh, an "AI accellerator." Oh my God, there's even a 3.5mm audio jack! [via Liliputing]
Building the Comet (and Mecha) started as a passion project but has become a life project now, standing on the shoulders of thousands of folks that have contributed to the open-source that drives the Comet today. Opening up is our way of giving back or paying forward as they say. We are excited on where this leads the Comet to!
It's $189 at the Kickstarter (which has already met its goal) for the base 2GB model with 64GB storage and "upgrades in the next step."
