- riscy 3y agoYeah the "OS" appears to be their backend that boils down to your login credentials + something like Selenium WebDriver + ChatGPT. The R1 device is just a thin client.
- patja 3y agoKind of a hilarious take if you watch the keynote where significant time and a moving backdrop are devoted to highlighting the miasma of navigating across 100 apps on a smartphone. Decrying "just install another app" is a big part of the raison d'etre for the whole product!
- yungporko 3y agono it really should have been an app, this thing is stupid. "phones have too many apps so buy this toy device and also keep your phone because you're still going to need it to do most things"
- pazimzadeh 3y agoYeah but I'd rather have an extra app than having to carry around two devices
- crubier 3y agoyeah sure but also maybe the keynote presenter is completely deluded
- thih9 3y agoThe device offers some nice privacy friendly hardware UI, like a push to talk button or a swivel camera. Also, being an alternative to the smartphone seems sort of a point of this device.
