Potentially me, but this time not.
My criteria is heavy on "do one thing well". I want something without internet, "apps", a convoluted OS, and basically all the other things that make phones a Swiss army knife.
Those things aren't free, they come with a cost which I'm not willing to pay; attention, bugs, distraction-as-a-service. Also, I'm not 100% on this because I haven't tested it, but I think the output I get from FLAC files on my music device is better than my phone.
Yes, I'm also the type who enjoys a separate camera.
There's a piece of mind to dedicated devices I was robbed of for a while with the the phone.
Now having said all this, the real answer to your question is; nobody, because this device seems to be a phone :/

I would 100% purchase a dedicated music device, but it can't be a glorified phone (I don't even like the smartscreen in the article) with a phones problems.
- zbuf 4y ago> real answer to your question is; nobody, because this device seems to be a phone :/ The terrible error here is including the Android home screen in the marketing materials. By all means base it on Android, but I never want to see anything like that on a "stand alone" device. Eliminating any generic UI should have been a priority from the go because it completely changes the sentiment around the device.
