#Jolla hat heute die Schnittstellen Spezifikationen für die "The other half"-Schnittstelle vom neuen #Jollaphone veröffentlicht. Die Spannungsversorgung gibt schon mal grünes Licht für eine Induktionladerückseite. Ich bin schon gespannt was die Community aus dieser Schnittstelle bauen wird... https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-phone-update-the-other-half-spec/29701?u=bahnsocke #SailfishOS #Jollaphone2 #theotherhalf
Jolla Phone update - The Other Half spec

Hi there, As we promised upon The Other Half Returns — Community Innovation Program we’ll open source the hardware and software interface specs so anyone can design, 3D-print, or produce their own modules. As of today, we just published initial Jolla Phone The Other Half (TOH) spec to Jolla Phone TOH | Sailfish OS Documentation Now we can start tinkering what kind of innovation we, as Sailfish Community, can do together. The idea is that spec evolves in the docs.sailfishos.org and for softwar...

But i'm sure there will be a lot more exited stuff from the community by time.

@Cykelsok yes but you would have to find a real niche application for companies to buy their workers a #jollaphone I guess. I could imagine it taking off for secure communication in institutions or governments but they don’t need TOH

@TimothyRoes I don’t think it would be a mass-market product either. But developers working for small businesses might really appreciate the fact that they can access all Linux libraries and don’t have to submit apps to Apple or Google. Total independence. Remote access via SSH. I think that’s actually quite appealing.

@Cykelsok hadnt thought about that aspect of it. That is indeed quite attractive!
