seems like it's connecting to external services but i'm not sure why siri couldn't do that.
How can you so badly fail at even saying what the hell this is on your shitty glossy web site? What is this? The page is just a list of hardware 'features' with large but unclear pictures. "push to talk button" ok, so? "far-field mike" ok, so? "360 degree rotational eye" so what? "analog scroll wheel" that does what? "usb-c plus sim card slot" which gives me what? There's a video but I shouldn't have to watch a video…
This is a bit harsh. I feel that you can figure out what the device is before even scrolling. It’s a companion device that you can interact with to get assistance with various things, and the features you mention are how it gets instructions and information.
There is zero information on the web site except an overly long video badly aping Apple's product announcement style. Including as-seen-on-TV "doing things is so hard" crap.
Hell, the FAQ is entirely about purchasing, not about the "product." It's therefore also meaningless. Rather than harsh I'm being generous. This web site is useless.
A weird cellphone that runs everything from the cloud? There's no way this isn't a nonfunctional brick in 18-36 months when they go bust.
Teenage engineering has been around long enough they won't go bust in 2 years.
$199 with no subscription? You must have to bring your own data sim card. Or can it get its connection from your phone? And is the AI stuff running locally on the device? Impressive if so. Suspicious if not; there's no way the service remains free forever. Pretty compelling price, and I'm certain the vision of AI agents that can use any existing app or website to take actions on your behalf is the future of computing…
A neat toy for hobbyists, but most people can't justify carrying two devices. And as soon as you add phone functionality to it... you've just made a new (more awkward) smartphone.
