Anyone have recent experience with the PineTab2?
Usability when running pmos or some other distro?

I just booted my PineTab 2 v1.0. Haven't had an update or powered on since 2023.
Linux danctnix 6.2.0-1-danctnix #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Mar 17 02:49:02 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
As you may guessed, it is very unstable. It doesn't power off nicely. >_>
At the time we're running BSP U-Boot (2017.09) and mainline kernel. That stack got slowly replaced by mainline ones.

PineTab2 users can now flash U-Boot to SPI flash with uboot-pinetab2 2026.04-4.
Once you got the update, run the following update to install U-Boot to SPI:
sudo update-u-boot -b pinetab -d /dev/mtd0
You have to run this command on every U-Boot update as we do not update the SPI automatically.
U-Boot 2026.04 for #PineTab2 is now available!
It's recommended to upgrade to the latest for stability improvements. 
How good is the PineTab2? I've been reading up a little on the Pine64 forums. I have had a PinePhone for a few years now so I have some experience with Pine64 devices.
From what I can gather, for the default OS there have been issues with Bluetooth and Wifi. How stable/usable is the default OS?
I am interested in using mobian/Phosh on the device as that is what I am most familiar with.
Are there any particular gotchas with mobian on the PineTab2?
