Note that this is not a Teenage Engineering product. This is a product sold by Rabbit - and they hired TE to help as a design agency.
Yeah, if it was a Teenage Engineering product it'd cost $799.
Teenage Engineering's hardware design is so cool. I'm a fan of their aesthetics. Their color choices are great too.

I think the optimistic take for investors is maybe they make some interesting LLM-phone tech and get acquired?
That seems unlikely given that both Apple and Google have been employing the world's top ML scientists for years, have unlimited budgets, have better access to customers than any startup (to find out what customers want), and ... need I go on? Yes, it's nice that "Rabbit" is exploring this area and being innovative, but unless their particular take on mobile phones catches the world unexpectedly by storm, nobody will…

I'd say that if it was sold by TE it would cost 2x-3x that at least. They make great stuff, but they are super expensive.
From a maker perspective, TE products(they have quite a bit more than I remembered!) still are frontal sketch in not quite Sony style with added depth, leaving something to be desired in manufacturability, durability, and usability. e.g. in this very device, the thin stem of this scroll wheel implies it's actually shaped like LEGO minifig heads, like 中, which doesn't inspire confidence wrt lateral plays. It could eas…

I think this is Apple's plan for the apple watch. I see my gf leave the house without her beloved iphone, making calls, listening to messages etc with her airpods connected to her watch. She doesn't even touch it. I might even have tried it myself if Siri didn't suck to much. My experiments in this regard were...discouraging. Perhaps she radically restricts her use to things Siri understands (unlikely in her case) or…

It would be far easier to do the same things with an app and ask for a fraction of the price
People keep saying this but having to go through the Apple lock screen for every interaction would mean it never even gets used at all. Not sure if the Rabbit device is the answer but I definitely see why people are trying.
