Originally Published 2 years ago — by Liliputing
Beepberry is a pocket computer kit designed for instant messaging, featuring a 2.7 inch black and white Sharp memory LCD display and a keyboard from a BlackBerry Classic smartphone. It works with a Raspberry Pi Zero W single-board computer and runs software that connects to the Beeper messaging service. The device is customizable and hackable, allowing users to repurpose it for other applications. The starting price of $79 does not include a case or the computer that powers it, but the makers are considering adding support for a 4G LTE modem or other hardware.
