SovereigntyQuest on Nostr: This might be a long rambling post but bear with me. Had a conversation yesterday ...

This might be a long rambling post but bear with me. Had a conversation yesterday here about smartphones, decentralisation and the way in which we all seem beholden to either Android or Apple. I've been going over and over in my mind an idea about a self sovereign smartphone. I'll call it a smart device from now on because I think the phone aspect of our devices is not the most important now. So.....this device, what should it do? Well a device, maybe in kit form like a raspiblitz, that contains all the hardware like touchscreen, camera, mic and necessary parts to allow connection to the internet. The OS is unique and would at minimum allow users to use a lightning wallet, nostr type client (and all the derivatives of nostr which I am sure we have yet to see), maybe a bitcoin core wallet. I'm just thinking aloud and would  like to hear opinions on this. Would you as a bitcoiner be happy with a smart device like this with, maybe only initially, such limited function compared to your current device? Obviously most apps wouldnt run on the OS but perhaps it would be enough that only bitcoin centric ones worked with the OS developers and came up with the new OS version. Well, I've done my best to elucidate what is swimming in my brain. Thoughts?
