    1min in and it’s like “pretty simple to setup i just have to do this, this, connect to this, go to this site, do this…” XD

    It won’t last because it’s hardware

    This seemed oddly enough great for seeing impaired folks. Especially the camera feature to identify what’s around or nearby.

    @cnet what carrier did you guys use on the R1?

    this is so dumb product

    So what was that one thing you could not do with an iPhone/Android ?

    Also, How many times do you have to ask and wait for those kinda questions – say calling Uber? Total wait time vs Touch screening the whole experience?

    This is the first review I hear the word “faster” about these AI pins

    out the gates
    its a bit like buying an android TV box with built in functionality on Temu
    some of these come with a portal that has enhanced features

    the test is one of perserverence

    if rabbit continues to deliver on all the promised features including the cloud services
    200 dollars with no recurring
    is something, really is….

    oh great another half baked device to charge and carry that does almost everything your phone does but less efficiently and slower. This will sell like cold cakes.

  13. @ultraprimeomega

    May 2, 2024 at 6:24 am

    Im looking at it as a phone replacement to stop being stuck on it but still be able to search, maps and music

    May 2, 2024 at 6:54 am

    That thing is garbage. I can’t wait to see what the iPhone 16 pro does with their AI

    By the way, battery park I thought that was your charging station L O L

    people making money off the AI hype

    it reminds the interesting fact that the movie barbie spent more money on the marketing than the movie itself & it works. to me, as an engineer – it’s a total waste of money. but who knows, maybe that’s where i am wrong.

  16. @GeorgKeferboeck

    May 2, 2024 at 7:05 am

    So it does everything an app does, but without all the benefits of a phone and apps like maps? So it does less and much worse … nice ????????

    Finally someone covers the website/backend of r1 with the journals and everything.

    now you guys learned? don’t fall for AI scams. the pin, this box, all useless! I’m sorry but just get a phone… it’s worth it

    PURE GARBAGE!!????????????‍♀️

  22. @Gingerlion777

    May 2, 2024 at 3:31 pm

    The fact that you can’t even turn up or down the volume during use is absolutely insane ???? such a simple thing and they forgot about simple convince

    I am not surprised that someone thought of this device. What I am surprised is that someone funded it to come to market.
