I don't think you can make the statement "worthy goal and definitely a market demand" without backing that up with any evidence. What makes it a worthy goal to create an internet connected wireless device that just isn't a phone? What is the real market demand for that sort of thing? I don't see that as a worthy goal nor I do believe there is any significant market demand for such a thing. It's almost impossible to exist in modern society without a smartphone.

Presumably the billions of dollars invested in this space would be evidence enough, or the success of things like the apple watch, or how Meta is shifting towards wearables to achieve a similar goal. I don't know what kind of "evidence" you're looking for here. Do you have evidence this is something the market doesn't want?

  The total failure of this product and all similar products like it. The success of wearables doesn't mean people are looking to replace their phone -- these are all phone accessories. This AI pin would have been more successful as a phone accessory than a stand-alone device. People already have to or want to carry their phone around; they are not looking for separate phone-replacement device. They want something that compliments their phone, not replaces it.

    Yep. "I don't want to put forth the effort of taking my phone out of my pocket so instead I'll talk to a lapel pin and hold my hand out to read a really crappy projected monochrome display" is sorta.... silly.
