This is kinda neat. A small phone that's meant to be able to fit in the credit card slot of most wallets. E-ink display.

They are like 80euro's and run android, they look like fun but have a really tiny battery.

This would be great as a Bluetooth handset for the Pyra!

Looks a lot like the Light Phone, which I was aiming for before I decided on a Librem5

The article said there's no app store - can you sideload apps?

That isn't confirmed yet but I assume people will find a way to do that.

Android doesn't appear to be optimized for the e-inkt screen though.
