Pretty much in-line with my expectations. I ordered one because I thought the design was neat, and I was interested in hacking around and flashing my own stuff onto it. The pricing was clearly at or below cost. Looking at just the concept (and ignoring execution), I don't really see the point of this thing? The whole thing is a feature that could exist on a smartphone. The dream of an AI agent that you can converse with to replace your smartphone could be compelling, but nowhere close to reality yet. Even then, the big smartphone OS companies are obviously better positioned for this. The smartphone is the hub for all your information, plus they have years of voice assistant, automation, and home IoT integration to build off of. Humane was silly because it was a smartwatch without any of the proper software support, but Rabbit is essentially doing the same but targeting a smartphone replacement. If you really want to break out and try to dethrone smartphone vendors, you'll have to come up with something more compelling than a worse user interface to a poorly made software platform. That's a software feature you're building. In some sense, I do think Rabbit had a better approach than Humane, though. Getting a bunch of low-priced "toy" devices into the market that are just a frontend to your server software could get you off the ground. The software needs to exist, though...
