Pocketstar would be great if we had a connector that would just carry audio and nothing else...
Oh we had that? And Google removed it? Strange
Any users willing to share there experience and thoughts of GOS on Pixel tablet?

missing-root If you are referring to the headphone jacket; that is correct, Google did not install this even though there is plenty of room left to embed a 3.5" headphone port to the device, which reduces the mount of options we have to connect external peripherals.
A solution could be a USB-based speaker while the main speakerdock connects the tablet to the mains.
However, it is not the easiest solution, and not everone has access to an external USB speaker.
missing-root Ah, you meant the connectors on the back of the device? Indeed.
My apologies, I've must've read it too hastily...
Xarcell iv just got one and its better than expected. Iv removed all apps that distract me off my phone and onto the tablet and leave it in the kitchen on the dock.
Even though Google discontinued it, would it be worth getting?
Has it been discontinued? I hope not. I love my pixel tablet and now use it for everything that I used to do on my Linux laptop which is now gathering dust.
I'm not big on using tons of apps and mainly use the Vanadium browser and I find it super portable and convenient. When away I hotspot it to my phone without issue.
The only thing I miss, and it's not a GrapheneOS issue, is that the Signal app only works on Android phones and not tablets. I think it can be linked on Apple phones and tablets but you cannot link the tablet Android app to your phone's app.
Tablet has worked great for me and has replaced 90% of my use case for a computer. Performance is good and battery life is okay. I really like the screen on it and the built in speakers. GrapheneOS runs amazing on it with only a few minor bugs.
Lack of 1st party or quality keyboard cases is annoying. An external Bluetooth keyboard works fine, but is not ideal. I bought mine without the speaker and I am considering buying the speaker now mainly for charging.
The navigating gestures for switching between apps and going to home screen are quite inferior to iPadOS gestures, which are very intuitive and always work. Android should have different gesture for phones and tablets, as the phone gestures do not translate well to tablet. Gestures often do not even register when I try them, no idea why.
MotherShipton Good to know! I did not realize you couldn't link Signal app to your Pixel tablet.
You can use Molly to link your phone and tablet. Molly can be obtained via Accrescent.

I did not know that, thanks
Do you know if there is there a version of Molly that uses google play services for push notifications?

treenutz68 Yes. You can find it on their Github page (https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android)
Also the FOSS version using web socket only.

What apps do you use for this?
Sending my health bills in their apps as PDFs or scanned QR codes.
What do you have in mind?
mogacy-nadproza0m PDF Doc Scan from LittleTrickster via Obtainium.
For health bills the app of my health care company. Had to pretend the tablet is a P7a in Aurora Store though.
