I do wonder what would have happened if Humane would have launched the product as an invitation-only beta with a different pricing-scheme. The hardware is good enough to test it. Power-consumption, projector and voice-cloud-voice latency is too high. But that's probably all forgivable if it's a "public beta" with the clear statement that this is not a final mass-product...
