Lilbits: iPad-style multitasking on iPhones, and maybe Lenovo didn’t leak any Android PC plans after all

Last week news started to make the rounds that Lenovo has published a web page spelling out the pros (and many cons) of PCs running Android. But Lenovo has since removed that website and claimed that it had nothing to do with Google’s plans to bring Android to PCs in the future… although it’s unclear why Lenovo published that page in the first place.

In other recent tech news from around the […]

Lilbits: Phosh 0.50.0, unofficial Windows Subsystem for FreeBSD, and Google Japan’s impractical keyboards

Some folks at Google Japan have a habit of designing impractical keyboards. A few years ago we saw a single-row keyboard with every letter, number and character laid out along a 5.4 foot strip. There are also Teacup, bubble wrap, and spoon bending keyboards, among others.

Now the company has introduced its latest horribly inconvenient keyboard: the Gboard Dial Version is made of rotary dials […]

FLX1S is a new Linux phone that’s… mostly a downgrade from the FLX1

The Furi Labs FLX1S is a new smartphone with a a 6.7 inch FHD+ display featuring a 90 Hz refresh rate, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor (which was released in 2021). The phone is up for pre-order for $550 and it’s expected to ship in October.

While that price might seem a little steep for a phone with those specs, there are a few things that make the FLX1S […]

PinePhone Pro Linux smartphone has been discontinued, but the original PinePhone is still available

The PinePhone Pro is a Linux-friendly smartphone that launched in early 2022 as a higher-performance alternative to the original PinePhone. With a faster processor, more memory and storage, and a better camera, among other things, it was a significant upgrade… on paper, at least.

But with a $400 price tag, it was also twice as expensive as the original PinePhone and never generated as much […]

Lilbits: Two new single-board PCs, Phosh 0.48, MSI Claw A8 Ryzen Edition, and Synology’s overpriced SSDs

Radxa has a new Raspberry Pi-sized single-board computer on the way powered by an Allwinner A733 processor. Pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, but the developers at the linux-sunxi wiki have posted some details.

Meanwhile Orange Pi also has a new single-board computer on the way. But since it’s powered by a Loongson 2K3000 processor, it’s pretty clearly designed specifically for the Chinese […]

Lilbits: Hacking the Humane Ai Pin, Liberux NEXX Linux phone, and swearing at your Windows PC

The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be a wearable device that allowed you to interact with an AI assistant throughout the day without using your phone or computer. But when it hit the streets last year it was widely panned as an overpriced, underpowered device that largely failed to deliver on its promise.

So it wasn’t a huge surprise that when HP acquired the company this year, it shut down […]
