Earlier this year, Punkt introduced a new smartphone<\/a> with a privacy-focused, Google-free, Android-based operating system called AphyOS<\/a>. Now it\u2019s shipping.<\/p>\n

And last month, AYANEO launched a pocket-sized handheld game console<\/a>\u2026 which sold out almost immediately, apparently because the company only made about 100. Now they\u2019re making\u2026\u00a0some more. At least enough for two more batches of pre-orders, but it\u2019s unclear how many that will be.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.<\/p>\n

\n

AYANEO will take pre-orders for at least two more batches of the Pocket MICRO 2 handheld game console with a 3.5 inch screen, SD865-class processor, and Android-based OS. The first batch was only for about 100 units, which sold out quickly. www.ayaneo.com\/article\/942<\/p>\n

The Punkt MC03 smartphone with a privacy-focused, Android-based OS called AphyOS is now shipping. First announced in January, the $745 phone has a 6.7 inch, 120 Hz OLED display but otherwise mid-range specs. But the software is the key selling point. crackberry.com\/punkt-mc03-s\u2026<\/p>\n
