Make for or sell for?
Sell for but this is crude assesment (+/- 10 dollars). It is hard to find cheaper parts.

It wouldn't work for me, you may find some people who would buy it.

What would work for you (every idea will help)?

Re: 7/10" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

I would use 9000/10000 mAh battery. I value the hole thing, just want to pack it in a portable device with nice design.

Re: 7/10" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

Thank you for your opinion DougieLawson, I appreciate your post. I know that there are Android tablets with fast CPUs long life batteries and stuff.

Re: Pi Satellite

I have one idea. You can design your own and get it 3D-printed.

Re: 7/10" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

I will consider any proper advice/argument. Thank you for commenting and feel free to proceed. I won't give up on my project and I certainly want to improve it. Found one on Kickstarter but it is only a 10" monitor with battery and back cover (and Pi): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pitouch/pi...

Re: 7/10" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

Note that you may be able to run Linux on your tablet: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Convert-an-Android-Device-to-Linux You can obviously write your own apps for Android. You can use USB or Bluetooth, WIFI for GPIO. What specifically do you want to do with it? All the examples you l...

Re: 7/10" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

What use do you see for this device? Why would someone buy this rather than a cheap proper tablet? I don't think you can match size, weight, battery life, apps or price. Is there a killer application for a Pi tablet? I had similar concerns and questions when I saw others make RPi-powered portable d...

Re: 7" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

how does your project compare to the other RPI tablet projects that have been on kickstarter and elsewhere? Well, unlike others, mine has smooth design, full GPIO access, modified USB ports on the outside(all connectors are located on sides of the tablet), the Pi itself is secured in the case (does...

7/10" Raspberry Pi tablet (PiTab)

Hello everybody! (7/29/2015 update) I would like to introduce my project idea. First, I encourage you to comment and criticise my idea because I would like to make it as good as it can possibly be.
