It’s not that it being based on android is the surprising part, it’s that they designed and sold a physical device which could be replaced with an app on the hardware you already have.
The whole device seems to be “it’s Siri but as a standalone device” and since you still have to take your phone with you, it seems to provide no value.

- Gigachad 3y agoSmart watches do quite a lot that my phone can’t. Primarily health/fitness tracking, and being on my wrist. This device is essentially a phone in every way but massively less functional. I can’t see a single thing it does better or more conveniently.
