Who says they need to compete with them at all? This isn't a big company relying on VC money that it needs to pay off, this is a small team that raised money from backers.
They need to provide a viable alternative for those of us that give enough of a fuck about privacy and... that's it. As long as they have a demand to keep up the supply, the product is successful. Their target group is willing to make some sacrifices for sure.
Not every company aims to be a trillion-dollar company and absolutely dominate its sector, and that's not a bad thing.
- jumbopapa 8y agoIf they can do it, then it's great! I'm just skeptical that we will see a second iteration of this device. I hope they do succeed! I want to be able to use a device like this someday, but it's not ready for me yet. I hope you enjoy it!
