This would be awesome with a LoRA addon! Great for meshing!

I was just thinking the same thing!

Also if it had GPIO header pin slots available along the back like the flipper zero. You could make so many cool top hats (or whatever the community ends up calling them) to enable a lot more flexibility.

Edit: I also would love to see one with an optional e-ink display. Black and white e-inks can do quite well in fast mode compared to a color e-ink. Smart e-ink displays can also update small sections of the screen or do incremental updates so you can delay a full screen refresh for longer (kindle eReaders all do this)

It's hard to tell, the site's images are hard to interact with on mobile, but it appears there are 6 header pins available that can be used for add-ons, but a full set to allow for hats would be rad!

Looking at the size of it, I have serious doubt that it has enough solar panels to get enough power to charge in any meaningful way using it.
