    Where does Teenage Engineering fit into this? Besides being overpriced toys?

        I think it’s cute, but haven’t heard a single good thing about it. I also thought the “cyber truck” was beautiful so obviously I have some wires crossed compared to most folks

          It is cute but it doesn’t make sense for the world we’re in. I think it’d make a cool prop for a show/movie from a alternative timeline or something.

        I love it. If it weren’t overpriced as hell I’d want to buy one to root and install my own apps. The AI portion of it is dumb.

          The processor is rather bad. I think that any advantage of the form factor you see will be outweighed by the frustratingly sluggish experience. You’ll wan to turn it into a single-purpose device and not handle it often, defeating the purpose of its physical feel.

          Anyway, you’ll see them all over Ebay when the service inevitably shuts down. If it had volume buttons and a headphone jack, there could be some audio-based use such as a podcast player.

            Kind of bizarre that Teenage Engineering helped design a product that doesn’t have a headphone jack now that I think about it…
