Any compelling reason to use this vs FaceTime or what ever android users use for video chat?
Does anyone want anything built by Facebook in there homes?
Anything Facebook has released outside of thei core product seems to be a hot mess. Remember that garbage android skin? I see literally no one buying this.
- SippinLean 8y agoLike Android's Duo one benefit would be that you can use this on any hardware, and talk to someone without an iPhone, unlike FaceTime.
- gehsty 8y agoStill no compelling reason to use this instead of a tablet or smartphone.
- netsharc 8y agoWell, maybe the network effect: if you buy this gadget and log in using your FB account, you already have your contact list (all your FB contacts) ready to call. Interestingly the other party doesn't even need to have this gadget, if they have FB Messenger app (which has the video functionality) you'll be able to talk to each other. And what do Android users use? In Europe it would be most likely WhatsApp, and guess who publishes WhatsApp. If they manage to add WhatsApp integration...
- gehsty 8y agoWhy would you use this over the smartphone in your pocket? Look at the positions where this garbage is placed in the rooms in the video, literally no one would place these things in the middle of tables, in the middle of countertops. I can't believe Facebook have wasted there time with this. Spend money improving user privacy and security and your share price will go up more than competing on hardware products.
