How good is the keyboard? I want one of these Linux handhelds so much but they all have these clicky push button keyboards. This one looks different, like the old mobile phone physical keyboards which were actually usable.
As someone who has programmed ESP32s, I doubt that they can run Linux. The ones I have (Risc-V versions) just don't have the RAM necessary, nor a memory management unit.
Maybe once they start coming with 32MB of RAM and an MMU it'll feasible to put a stripped-down Linux kernel on it.
640KB memory might be enough for everybody, but not for what most take for granted on Linux.

I'd love to see them, or some other company, resurrecting the concept.

Still agree it's not a great idea for any practical purpose when once could just use an RPi instead. TBH one of the reasons I enjoy the ESP32 is not having to think about an operating system; it reminds me of hacking around on 8 bit home computers in the 1980s, only better.
