	~~Yes, if you learn~~ C ~~first~~. ~~Otherwise~~, no. ~~(This response isn't trying~~ to ~~be snarky~~, ~~this question was asked so many times it really needed~~ to ~~be here~~.)		Drivers are (at least typically) written in the C programming language. Unfortunately, there is no way to "code drivers in Python" because usually drivers need to access and process memory allocation directly. If you feel like this is interesting to you, we suggest you to spend some time learning the C programming language, maybe with an emphasis in device driver development. The good news is that, since you already know a programming language, you already know part of the skill.

			In short, you can only help with drivers development if you learn the C programming language first.

	The PineTab 2 is considered early release at this point, and the community is expected to develop support for it over time. For example, the [[PineTab2#Known_Issues]] page details several features that are not yet fully working. You may at times need to troubleshoot this device and some development experience is ideal if you want to realize the tablet's full potential at this stage.

	Theoretically yes, practically there's little chance anyone wants to make a well-supported Android build for this device. If you're looking for an Android tablet, buy any mainstream tablet, you'll get better value for your money.

	~~=== Shipping ===~~
	~~==== I did not receive an order confirmation ====~~
	Check your "spam" folder. It was reported that some users did not receive an order confirmation. You will also still get a shipping notification when the device ships out, even if you didn't get an order confirmation email.

	~~==== When does the tablet ship? ====~~
	~~For up-to-date information when the shipping date is estimated, see the edits in the corresponding forum thread.~~

	~~==== It is shipping day but I did not receive a shipping notification ====~~
	For shipments with DHL, the shipping notification is sent out as soon as the packet reached DHL's warehouse and scanned (it can take up to 24 hours after scanning after the shipment is added to DHL's database). For all other shipments (via Ascendia) the notification is sent out sometime after shipment.

	~~==== What about import taxes? =====~~
	Import taxes have to be paid by the buyer depending on the jurisdiction of the country of the buyer. Please check with your local laws if there are import taxes to pay and if so how to do the tax filing.
