    Rabbit has a SIM slot. I think the idea is that once its software gets better, it will be able to be a replacement for a phone for people who just want to quickly do simple things. Its battery seems to be pretty rubbish, though, and for now, the software is not nearly good enough.

      But you can literally buy a cheap android phone for less than this device that does everything it does (and might do some day), maybe even better. Why buy a strange and unfamiliar form factor, when most people are comfortable with a smartphone already? They can just choose not to interact with anything other than the assistant if they really want to, and still be better off.

      But it’s just an Android app in a dedicated device that reviews say has a shit interface and battery.

      Run it on a cheap phone that does more for less.

        The battery part is fixed now 😂 they were able to give that thing 5x battery lifetime trough a software update

        Makes me wonder what they where doing in the background prior this update
