The octa core SoCs available right now are rather terrible when it comes to heat and power management( like the kirn 960) and we are rather limited by the fact that everything has to run on libre software

I'd say get EOMA68 cards to be fast first. Maybe even 64 bit octacore or something fancy like that. Then get the tablet out that has an EOMA68 slot. That will definitely be popular if the specs are good display/battery wise. If theres a laptop and theres a tablet, then there'll be proven customers for a phone (the people who funded the other two)

it's also why i haven't done a smart (or dumb) phone, because *without* that smaller size (due to "stacking") you simply can't make a small enough PCB for it to be socially acceptable, these days.
I would totally buy and use a phone large enough to fit an eoma68 CPU card.
i thought of a potential way to deal with that, and it's to allow the Card to stick out the side.
But there may not be wide enough appeal to get the costs down to a reasonable number.
well that's why i want to do a smaller card (EOMA50). honestly if spending the time on this i would prefer to do something that stands a chance of a larger appeal (and would reach an acceptable crowd-funding threshold)
