Turns out those computers in our hands are actually just regular computers and all those dinks at Apple/Google are trying to nefariously lock us in!
I built several apps that are aimed for Mobile linux, and the only reason I build them specifically on the Pinephone is because I need to test it with the modem.
I wrote mmsd-tng, the backend to giving MMS on the Pinephone: https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/
vvmd/vvmplayer, which enables Visual Voicemail: https://gitlab.com/kop316/vvmd https://gitlab.com/kop316/vvmplayer
And phosh-antispam, which hooks into calls to hang up on Spammers: https://gitlab.com/kop316/phosh-antispam
Turns out it is the same reason most consumers and commercial developers don't care about Desktop Linux.
