I like it! The name is especially cute.

I carry a PQI Air Card in my pocket to use as an SD->WiFi->iPhone adaptor, and this could complement it nicely. I've also carried a CoreWind WiFiG25 for USB host, so I could mount other people's phones using MTP or libimobiledevice. The CoreWind stopped working, so I've been trying to replace it with a VoCore, but I haven't got that to work yet either. Does the Pocuter have USB host ports?

Having battery power management circuitry is really wonderful - I'm usually having to use a Third Rail battery and microUSB M - USB F mini adaptor and microUSB M - USB M rotating adaptor to power the pocket computer, and then I can't use the same wire for plugging in other devices. Screen support is also very impressive - and with an ESP32 on board then it should be able to bit-bang VGA out too!
