In many ways a digital walkie talkie would be much better than an iPhone. I'd love to have a device where I can push a button and talk to my contacts instantly. No more "Siri, call Jane"... "I'm sorry, I didn't

Is this post a spam submission? The website looks like a super generic landing page template; the kind you find when you search "youtube video downloader" and similar. Take that "#1 AI Image Upscaler" banner for example.
