I have the og PineTime, and in my opinion, we don’t really need better hardware. What we need is better software!

Isn't a bit of the challenge with the software to write something that supports the very modest hardware?

Agreed, I never felt like the software quite got the support it needed. Know it's not easy, but even basic needs like can we maintain a connection and can the device update itself were not guaranteed.
