Recently they even adopted official support for Gemini PDA https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Sailfish_OS_Notes https://jolla-devices.com/gemini-pda/ the license AFAIK is for android emulation, which you do not need. Also you can disable or remove all packages you do not need - it is a normal linux and not some proprietary crap. regards
It's unclear on https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/popular-items/products/gemini-pda-1
If it currently ships to US (although another page lists price in US dollars).
I raise the question as https://shop.jolla.com/ explicitly states:
Sailfish X is currently available in the countries of the European Union, > Norway and Switzerland ("Authorized Countries") and the use of our
website
and services to purchase Sailfish X outside of the Authorized Countries is prohibited.
The Planetcom site states that Debian can be installed. All my systems are Debian.
I'll have to get back to the sites this evening.
