I think it could be useful to end-users to add a column to the device table for device type: mobile or tablet. I want to locate all tablets and see what's the best supported tablet and now I have to read all device pages.--[[User:Xan|Xan]] ([[User talk:Xan|talk]]) 10:36, 6 March 2020 (EST)

== Battery ==
I still think the battery column is a bit confusing. It gives the impression that a device with a blank there cannot charge while running pmOS, while it only means pmOS charging system does not work. E.g. N900 charging is wholly managed by the kernel, mainline kernel, that is. I think we should review how we use that battery column. Does it matter too much to a user whether a device charges using sdl-charging/etc, or some other mechanism? Or does it rather matter that I can charge while running pmOS, or not? Then depending on those answers we can define the meaning of the battery column properly.

Put a field in a table to differentiate mobile phone vs tablet

I think it could be useful to end-users to add a column to the device table for device type: mobile or tablet. I want to locate all tablets and see what's the best supported tablet and now I have to read all device pages.--Xan (talk) 10:36, 6 March 2020 (EST)
