- The Humane Ai Pin is a Star Trek combadge for 2024. It's a mobile phone designed to save us from our phones, a wearable computer meant to keep us in touch without putting a screen between us and the world. It’s a bold idea built on a concept that makes a ton of sense.
But it’s also arriving just as skepticism toward AI is building; tolerance for subscription-based gadgets is dropping ... and more important than either of these? It just doesn’t do enough yet - and much of what it does, it doesn't do all that well.

Hey folks! As promised in the video, including a few responses here from Humane co-founder Bethany Bongiorno:
MESSAGING:
"The messaging experience is definitely not full featured yet - and doesn't match your smartphone just yet given its maturity. We do have a good number of fixes coming very soon."
OVERHEATING / DROPPING CALLS AFTER 30 MIN:
"This should be hours. It can be impacted by thermal headroom at the start, other experiences running, laser usage during call and poor cellular connectivity. There are improvements here in the next release that will make where we are now much better."
GENERAL AI RESPONSE ACCURACY:
"Accuracy improvements will continue to be a priority and changes will be pushed to CosmOS every day and we will also be adding things like Agents in the next release which will expand capabilities of general web search in a way to help with some of these type of questions."
CELLULAR RECEPTION:
"The device’s antennas are built into the housing for optimal performance. That being said, the larger a device, the easier it is for the antenna to radiate, specifically at lower frequencies. The Ai Pin performs quite well, comparable to some smartphones in the mid and high band frequencies, and slightly worse than smartphones in low bands. We perform better than all smartwatches that are comparable in size that we measured."
GENERAL:
"We definitely know there are certain things that are not where we want them to be in 1.0, as with all first gen products, but we do have a lot of improvements that are getting pushed to Cosmos on the server every few days to improve them and have a lot of device side fixes and new features in our next release that we think will make things better. "
Well, as you always say, MrMobile - a product fit for review, should arrive at launch, fit for review.
“Messaging isn’t fully featured”…yet they are okay releasing the product like this.
By next release, do they mean next software release or next hardware release.....?
It’s good that they responded to you and I think they have the best answers they can provide. I don’t think this device should’ve been marketed as a first gen release, however. I know we joke that first gen products in tech is like hardware beta testing, but this is hardware alpha testing. This is hardware pre-production testing. It’s a cool idea and I love the vision, but this feels like it has even less of a place in the industry than the Vision Pro. This feels like it should’ve been something you only receive for paying the highest Kickstarter tier to be an unpaid QA tester.
Still. I don’t want the company to fail. I’m hopeful that they can make improvements through software and that future products and generations are better.
Great review as always MrMobile! I love how you always stay neutral and treat the bad equally to the good, even when it’s something you really love.
Bruh, this is the dragons dogma 2/skull and bones of hardware.
All these AI gadgets are the "this could have been an email" of the hardware world.
😂💯
😂💯
Ok gramps
That is so true, it manages to be just as intrusive as a smartphone or a smartwatch but does less.
😂
I don’t understand why these companies have gotten so comfortable putting out beta software/hardware out for sale. Very frustrating to buy a device with limited functionality only to receive the good ole “we’ll fix it eventually with an OTA”
Because it's much cheaper for you to beta test it for them.
Because the novelty of it will wear off if you wait too long to launch the product.
This isn't even a beta. It's barely a vertical slice
The thing is I'm not sure they can actually fix these problems with software updates. Mostly it seems that the big issue it's just that it's too small to be able to have enough capacity to go the whole day.
I bet the plan isn't to sell to customers but to sell to investors. Because uuUUUuuU, look at our press coverage, this is the next big thing, the smartphone killer, and it has AI!
"I refuse to talk to you through this shit device."
Thanks for the great laugh this morning!
Absolutely savage, and pretty much sums up this device
Sorry, not sorry. I hated talking to him through it 😂
Bah dude we all feel the same way about it.
Coulda been a smart phone
literally LOL'd on that part, especially it was said out loud in public while he was walking
Peak Unlockr moment
This device feels like a late April's fool joke
That's because it is
It’s 20 years too late AI or not it feels like something out of the early to mid 2000’s tech boom with things like the lipstick phones password journals and robo pets.
Cool concept shore but there’s no reason for Joe and Jain on the street to actually use it.
Secondly the smartphone is idk a thing and has been since 2010 with wide spread adoption.
The days of a small digital cameras a dedicated iPod/mp3 player phone torch are long gone.
In a way outing the AI pin in the same basket as the Sony Vaio P (aka full win XP machine roughly the size of a galaxy fold)
As amazing as the Vaio P was it was realised at the cusp of the smartphone which killed the project and product line
What’s even the point of this device?
@@hortalissa a Nokia 3310 with Siri and a laser projector instead of the screen and keyboard
@@hortalissa apparently it’s to make people use they’re phones less and seems more time like looking at random stuff and talking kind of things
Who at Humane thought this product was ready for review?
Not a human obviously
😅
CEOs and private equity firms
Every marketing is good marketing. This company is unknown and people will see these reviews and buy them for curiosity, increasing their revenue.
The AI Still Dumb as Fk, very Frustrating to use.
They're unreliable and uncertain,
like what they gonna do to improve that? they're using GPT-4,
are they gonna Threaten OpenAI Sam Altman to fix their AI because apparently people get lost,
some people missed their appointment,
basically they're just sitting duck at the mercy of Sam Altman
this is the only thing that could justify their existence, but they failed at that.
What incredible build quality for manufactured e-waste.
You know what else is neat? Smartwatches. Seriously, what's wrong with smartwatches? You're still gonna have to lug a phone around with this damned pin anyway.
Big Juicero vibes with this one.
Exactly. Watches will win here.
Ai watch would’ve been much better
Not even good build quality when the battery life is non-existent, the signal strength is woeful, and they couldn’t even get ip68 on a device with zero ports.
Give it some time and Dankpods and LGR will make a Cashies-Goodwill episode and the glass cases will be full of this crap.
No calendar support at launch is truly insane. Reading you your calendar is probably the top thing this pin would be useful for.
The device uses whatever AI services and APIs are available and tested. They are not going to develop a chatGPT API for interacting with your google calendar, that's years of development to make it work properly.
Most third party calendar apps can literally access Google Calendar or even MS exchange's calendar through a syncing protocol that has been around for decades. That an AI can't do this out of the box is mind blowing.
@@madelineariah Great! Now, which of those third party calendar apps took less than 2 years of software development?
The "AI" doesn't do anything out of the box, you need to train it and provide input and output for inference. The inputs and outputs still need software development and integration.
@@PaulSpades "It takes a long time to develop" is not an excuse for skipping right past that development and jumping straight into selling it for $700 minimum plus a monthly subscription. Calendar functionality is arguably the single most fundamental feature for a personal assistant to have, and claiming it just takes too long to integrate here is either a condemnation of the technology at its base or the company choosing to release this thing.
@@sethsez I completely agree. Which is why I think the Rabbit R1 is a better product if you're interested in this sort of thing. They started with a solution to the software and API problem. How well it works is still to be determined.
David Cogen said, “I refuse to talk to you through this sh*t device” 😂
We can always count on the Coagster to keep it real 😄
@@TheMrMobileA curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones???
12:13 :).
A very grounded review with optimism for the device, but realism to acknowledge that 80-90% of us won’t buy this for various reasons. For me, the price + subscription combo is the dealbreaker. But hearing how much this thing gets wrong or the frustration of trying to do basic things. Definitely sounds like one would be better off waiting for a potential sequel device.
Try 99.99%. It will be gone in a year,tops.
SUBSCRIPTION!?
OHHHHELLNO now I'm anti sold on this PoS!
@@Matanumi it’s a cost for the cell service for unlimited calls and texts. It makes sense, but on top of the $700 USD price tag, it’s a non-starter for sure.
It’s criminal how much they’re charging for such a shitty device
@TJKoopa3018 it makes sense as an option, but the fact you can't just tether of your phone is bs. Obviously thus subscription is in place to cover the cost of using the AI, the AI that works like shit
I'm not even REMOTELY surprised that this entire review was one long Star Trek reference. 😉
Wow, this is why I watch your channel. By far the most raw and down to earth review on this new gadget I've seen.
I'd still use my smartphone for everything. This is just novelty which I don't need. It's not solving any problem 🤷🏻♂️
Cogen’s response is all I needed 😂
"Review Devices need to be ready to be Reviewed" By Micheal
Great man, A trustworth Big tech, CZcamsr. All the time
Thank you for this magnificent review. I am canceling my order right now!
Or even pre ordered this thing 🤣
best choice u ever made is now
That point of not wanting to be rescued from a phone but being interested in these gadgets because they are doing something new is a good way to put it. I've never felt addicted or shackled to my phone in a way these gadgets aim to fix so I've never been drawn to them in that way but I still like seeing them do new things and reinvent certain systems in novel ways.
I agree! I have an iPhone, I have hundreds of apps, I use it for everything-BUT-I don’t think a second piece of tech is going to somehow lessen what I do on my phone. It’s just offloading that activity onto another piece of tech. I’d rather just take my phone out than figure out if I should look at my phone… or my watch… or my pin etc. etc.
However, I appreciate anyone trying out anything different, because you never know how parts of what they invent could be repurposed in the future.
A simple example would be the coloured LED to indicate an alert. If a different coloured dot appeared on the back of my iPhone while it was face down on a table in a meeting I would know if I needed to even pick it up.
My old BlackBerry had an LED that lit up different colours that I could customize depending on what the alert was about. That was so useful and something Humane put on the pin, because it’s simple and maintains privacy while being really functional.
Your review is very level headed, And I like how you don't entirely throw the idea under the bus while you still clearly bring across your criticisms of it. I feel the same sorta cautious optimism for this as type of thing
You did a much better presentation than Humane company itself. This should be the presentation way that they should follow. Atleast this review video sparked some intrest in the device.
Hard no still
They basically had no sales pitch and are the most boring presenters from Apple I've ever seen
The founders in the Humane promo video seemed like hostages being forced to read a script. I was waiting for one of them to hold up a newspaper as a proof of life.
It goes to show that 99% of founders and CEOs should *not* be the public faces for their companies.
Steve Jobs was an engaging public speaker, but unfortunately he made it look so easy that now every tech co founder thinks they’re like him. They’re usually wrong.
I just feel like this should be an accessory for your phone. Do all the processing on your phone, and have the project, bigger battery etc on the pin.
Yeah $50-$70 at most with obviously no subscription
What about Subscription? How will the founder feed his family?
This would've been cool...
20 years ago
What makes the pin useless is the smartwatch.
So it's literally a terrible and expensive smartwatch...
it is much worse though. It isnt directly competing to a smartwatch given it is not a companion device rather it is competing directly to a smartphone.
Well, no. It’s FIGURATIVELY a terrible and expensive smartwatch
Best review I’ve seen on this! I felt my blood pressure rise from seeing your struggles!
I feel that was a trap for investors
How they even think this is the future of the smartphone?
Yeah, this feels like someone just wanted to put a start up together so they could cash out by selling it so they latched onto whatever the latest tech bro buzzword was to push a product that really doesn’t need to exist because it’s just an objectively worse experience than a smart watch, which does everything this thing can and more, and does it better
@@MoonBro96 Agreed, this thing is 100% a solution in search of a problem hoping that buzzwords and a novel gimmick will convince one of the big boys to buy out the company.
None of this is actually aimed at the end user. Customers are incidental.
The devs are former apple employees. They think less is more.
This IS a trap for investors, just like all AI companies are. It's the new thing after "blockchain".
Man, what an elegant way of reviewing a product that is not ready. This was a master class about how to present a product that clearly is not yet ready for mainstream distribution while not being a naysayer, and understanding that products need time to mature. Great job.
The David Cogen text was pure gold!
The moment I saw your review was up I tapped to view it, this was a great and full review about the Ai pin by humane. It's a very interesting gadget but I think what a lot of us want is an ai assistant that is present and available no matter the hardware we're interacting with, meaning, it should work on my laptop, pc, phone, earbuds and smartwatch, and is capable of reading to you from the services you use like calendar, mail, make notes (fcol) messages,etc. pretty much what we see on the movie "Her".
This pin or badge form factor has its merits, thinking of it as an accessory for my daily life, most of the time it wouldn't be very useful except when I'm walking on the street, excercising or traveling, but in these moments I would also be using earbuds which could provide most of the functionality except the camera with my pov. Idk, maybe if ai was more advanced and this could work more like a modern star trek badge and actually replace a smartphone, this could be useful, but at the moment it just feels like we're all just waiting for smartglasses and/or ai to get better or be more useful
I loved David's text back to you ... I laughed out loud. I can't to see where this company goes ... Thanks for bringing us on the ride with you
Wearing a smartwatch backwards offers more functionality than the laser projector. Or just wear it normally. Then connecting Bluetooth earbuds (or even without those) solves most of the text reading and replying. Google assistant solves a lot of the searching issues (not that I like it, just saying).
Even Meta raybans do a better job
Overheating and bad battery life make this a non starter for me.
Overheating, expensive, and short battery life is like the holy trinity of suck.
@@utubrGaming I almost want this product to fail.
I wonder how much the induction charging has to do with the heat problem.
@@kshadehyaena It looks like a mix of wireless charging and a pin contact point. Regardless, you are right on the money. It's inefficient. And it could very much benefit from silicon carbon technology instead of the last gen lithium ion that I'm pretty sure it has.
those gestures gonna get someone hurt for flashing gang signs
Michael, your Clicks keyboard has been out of stock for a long time. Will I ever be able to order one?
You are the reason i have a Flip 5 (and 3 before that) and now the Galaxy Watch6 Classic. I trust you. You have earned that over the years. It would have been easy to gloss over all the issues here and just get lost in the AI madness, but as always, your integrity won the day.
Thanks again Mr Fisher.
I know it was short-lived, but I still love my Echo Loop. It's a perfectly usable way of discreetly interacting with a voice assistant. You can whisper questions or commands, and have to hold the ring to your ear to hear the response so it's fairly private.
Great video, very helpfully confirmed my expectation that there's never been a new tech product that I've been less interesting owning 😅
Glad someone is able to look at all these gimmick devices before the servers are shut off next year from lack of adoption. Its mostly just fascinating to see why anyone though this was a good idea
I feel this and Vision Pro are solutions looking for problems. My biggest issue with both those products (but especially this one) is I can't really identify what it does. Every product category I can think of (smartphone, computer, etc.) always has that one niche or way or doing something that is either unique or better than another method. A practical example if something like CarPlay/Android Auto: I can be driving, and my phone can tell me about traffic issues and redirect me. It recognizes an actual problem and offers a solution. A good, practical use of technology. This pin? I guess the laser thing is kind of neat, but it's not a killer app. It's not something that is so good or unique it makes me want to buy it. Unless this product carves out a niche and/or does something unquestionably better than any other method, I just don't see this catching on.
just watched the first part of the MKBHD review of this, thought "I bet Mr. Mobile would LOVE to have a crack at this!" &, Lo & behold!
No thanks. I dont like devices that makes me talk to it as its primary mode of interaction, no matter how great it is, talking with your things is always going to be awkward technically and/or socially. And all this AI stuff its... too much now.
_i refuse to talk to machines._
The most informative piece of content I've seen about this device (as usual)
I’m mainly impressed by how well the battery, charging case, and battery packs have been thought out.
yea but unfortunately that doesn't make it a device I'd really want to use.. The screen offered by my phone just comes with way too many benefits to ditch it for something like this. Just the camera alone, really! but what if I wanna text without announcing my conversation to the room?
It's unfortunate that this device is in the state it is in at launch, but this is the first review I saw that helped me see the potential of a device like this. Thank you for trying to take a more open approach to your review on this. Most reviewers were very down on it. (Perhaps understandably so)
Glad you reviewed this and not me. And glad Humane is working with you to get the overheating issues resolved.
This might be my favorite review of yours
Because its very real and he's trying to see the sliver lining in a shit product
Wow... what a Scam... who should have known this before.
Ok. I saw Verge and the famous tech guy… your review was just fantastic!! Thank you so much!! It was way better than the rest, so far.
Mike sold my folks a set of Cutco knives sometime in the nineties and we still use them when we visit the little summer cottage! Good dude and has always been very curious and entrepreneurial
Tony from the North Fork says hi
1. What the hell do you mean "don't get dumpling splatter on it or else it will never come on", for this price I expect it to survive at least that much.
2. The moment the company goes under, which it will the moment the hype dies down and seed funding dries out, it's gonna be just a really gaudy button.
3. Even if I'm alone at home, I really don't want to be talking to my devices (I only use my Google Assistant to set a timer for my noodles), just because it feels weird, and most of the time the precise thing I want to do I can simply use my fingers for it in a split second.
I support your points.
You can use your fingers for it in seconds? So quick?
Did I hear, "wedding"? 😉 Excellent review, as always!
Not my own, but good ear 😄
I appreciate this video so much!! I too love Star Trek and was waiting to get this. After your review I'm so glad I spent allot less and went with the Rabbit R1, for now instead. I hope it does get better and makes it worth the buy in the future. I'll see what your future videos show off!!
Mr. Mobile is the go to reviewer for obscure products like these! This was a fun video despite the devices current shortcomings. Looking forward to how these types of devices progress
Seems like a smart watch with extra steps.
I’m happy to be proved wrong, but I don’t see a world where this would replace anything. The phone is a distraction, but it’s a quiet one that I can use in any situation (plane, train, bus, doctors office…). Having the primary mode of interaction be your voice is a massive deal breaker. We already have voice assistants I don’t use. And the cost vs limitations of this device is astonishing. Tacking on AI resources doesn’t bridge that gap.
I feel the same way about Vision Pro. I like to be fair and give new products time to find their place, because it does happen. But both this and Vision Pro I just don't "get." The main thing is I can understand the use case for a laptop. And a smartphone. And a smart watch. But I don't get what these products are doing for me. What problems do these solve I can't accomplish with my phone? What is the killer app? What does this do that simply cannot be replicated in some other way, and be practical? I feel products like this and Vision Pro need to answer those questions. There needs to be something so good, so unique, that I MUST use the AI Pin. But I'm not seeing that. This feel like a solution looking for a problem.
So, what exactly does this pin currently do at launch that a smartwatch cannot do better? Notifications, calls, texts, search, fitness tracking, note taking, etc, are all easier to do on my smartwatch that I can also talk to.
The only thing I can think of that the pin does that I can't do with my smartwatch is photos and video clips, and I'd rather have a viewfinder to see exactly what the device is capturing, so I would rather use my phone anyway.
I’ve been waiting for this video for months and as always, you didn’t disappoint!
Poor battery life for wearables is practically inexcusable, since multiple manufacturers cracked multi day use in smartwatches with a smaller formfactor than this thing (especially the pin+battery backing). That said, this thing is still interesting to follow. A smartwatch is not always practical to do actual stuff on, as it requires two handed (hand the watch is on is pretty much useless when the other is interacting with it) operation for most stuff. This requires only one hand sometimes, the other hand can do laundry indeed. Too bad also they lock the thing down so much for privacy reasons. The placement on the chest could make it the perfect placement for a semi-inconspicuous bodycam or audio recorder. There are legitimate reasons to do this inconspicuously sometimes for conversations with importance, with corrupt superiors or law enforcement. A 15 second video doesn't do much then.
It's not even a beta version. Good intention. Poor execution. Great review.
I really enjoyed tour review. It seems balanced and fair and thorough. Your script and delivery was also very well done. Thank you very much. I'll check out a few more of your videos. (this was my first)
I'm excited to see where devices like this can go, but until we have a full fledged com badge, I'm not sure it's some for me. Fantastic video and really dig the jackets.
this is the theranos of AI
How so?
It really is not. Theranos was never real, and nothing that the company ever promised was true. Humane delivered an actual product that at least does something. It obviously doesn't do most things well, but comparing it to a product that was never real to begin with is unreasonable.
@MrRavensFjord Plus, it doesn't diagnose you with the world's worst diseases like STDs, cancer, HIV or possibly Ebola, all at the same time, when you report a cough 🤣🤣🤣
IMO they have the right idea, which is making AI something you can physically interact with on its own, but the problem is everything Humane is doing can already be done with AI on everyone's smartphones WITHOUT a subscription
Almost
The funny about this gadget in Brazil is because in portuguese Aipin is cassava.
boa
I appreciate the dedication and time you spent using this device. And you came in very unbiased.
I knew this pin wouldn't be good enough to recommend from what I'd already seen and heard. But I do get what you mean about wanting to follow the project through. It is a really good and ambitious idea, IF they can overcome the many hurdles laid in front of them. They really shouldn't have launched it in the state it's in now, as that alone could turn enough people away to doom it. But hopefully it gets enough people curious for them to push forward.
They probably had to release it to "prove" it was a real product. If they never released it, it might get deemed vaporware and not get any future funding. This is very much a beta product (at best), but at least it does exist. Which is better than a lot of other tech products that never get released.
Sam Altman is involved in the company. That's a big "Stay Away. Stay _Far_ Away" sign.
Why?
@@Matt-bp5vy Because the man blows enough smoke to be regulated by the EPA.
Im using that insult now haha love it @sethsez
Yeah, OpenAI is getting fat stacks from every gullible Humane subscriber.
And now they are involved with Apple to an extent with the Apple Intelligence. Whether that's good or bad is up for you to decide.
You what is funny about the messaging? Microsoft did it 10 years ago! Lolz!
Cortana on my Lumia 530 actually worked well for this purpose. I used to use it when I was at work, I had my music on it and it would pause what I was listening to in order to let me know I got a message and then ask what I wanted to do, one option was to reply, I dictated my reply, she read it back and then I could just send it, all in 2014.
To me all we really need is more functionality added to BT headphones and voice only commands. Once you start adding screens and such you really are just better off dragging your phone out.
Microsoft also did the tablet PC a good decade before Apple "invented" it with the iPad. Microsoft has lots of trouble connecting with the masses, but they always seem to have been well ahead of the curve. Back in the early 90s you could get full-fledged handwriting recognition on Windows 3 with special pen software. There was a tablet from 1992 running Win3 that was basically the iPad + Apple Pencil.
Bren dying to hear your take on this MRMobile 🖖🏻
This will by far be the #1 ai pin review. But I canceled mine shortly after ordering it. It's too expensive and I can't support any more subscription models. My Rabbit will be here soon tho :)
Thank you for the video! Cant wait to see what the competition brings out in the hopefully near future!
Great review. Horrible product.
For everybody who disses this. It is not great - true. But we need unique tech failures to get to groundbreaking successes. It is always better to learn from somebody elses mistakes, especially if those mistakes cost millions just to try something new.
..... or just make a better smartphone with all the features and not take them away which modern phones have done
Only and Floss into Star trek I grew up all of it . Love the reviews always Michael still a nice product just needs polishing before releasing it to the public.
Those see through glasses with the red tint are sick! I want those
Future landfill
Great idea, bad execution.
Glad they are trying but lord we are more than a few tech generations away from this being usable. Come back in 5 years and we may have the first real public use version
They have a gesture tap feature that will allow you to unlock the pin. It's not ready yet though and the overheating issue is likely a software problem should be fixed in the next update awesome review also.
I love your videos, and I’ve been interested in the ai pin since its launch. It think it’s a great idea and it’s short comings in hardware I think are pretty minor considering it’s a first gen product, and the first of its kind ever! (At least that I’m aware of)
$600?!? And $24 a month?
Is this a joke?
AI devices as a whole are a joke
and people say apple is overpriced
I watched Eddy Burback's video on the Vision Pro yesterday, and as weird, niche, and dissociative as that $3,500+ device seems, it sounds like a bargain when compared to this $699+ piece of largely functionless garbage.
Apple is over priced
The voice used sounds like a sad Cindy Pom from the CZcams channel Newsthink, 😉 LOL, great review. Interesting, with a lot of issues but it's a first gen product so let's see how they improve in the future.
Incredibly balanced review as always. The Mr. Mobile name is my "trust light."
Garbage but at least something new.
😂
There's a reason the wheel was invented a few thousand years ago and still used
haha
You are just so talented this video was incredibly put together
The form factor is wrong; this should be a watch and earbud combo, the projector is a nice idea but impractical and there’s a socially-imposed limit to “talking to yourself”, voice commands alone won’t cut it.
The design is impressive, but it really solves a made-up problem and fails at that
not interested, just let it die
“Bury my dread!” 🎶
1:55 that look you gave the camera 😂
At least you're proud to share in your masochistic endeavors.
If I’m honest. I didn’t expect the AI pin to work well when you show cased it at that tech demo. But I like it for an experiment. Yes it’s not perfect. But it shows where we are right now with the tech available! And it’s a good bench mark to start developing from.
Personally I’m still waiting for AR specs and headsets for my next big tech purchase. But this stuff excites me!
Your videos are always so thorough and appreciate the themes that come up across everything you cover. Would love to know what the Humane Ai Pin team think of your review.
Dam I'm sad that the first run isn't all I hoped it would be. As a fellow trekie that's also on me for pinning super high hopes on it. I can't wait to see how your review of the R1 goes as I'm waiting on mine to arrive. AI pin is definitely more my style, typical case of wait for the v2.
I more and more feel like I would like to see you in a Star Trek show, you just have a vibe that would work, I feel like
instead of using the laser to unlock the pin, they should give the option to tap a specific tap sequence for it to unlock
Or a fingerprint reader, like much cheaper phones do.
This is probably the most frustrated Michael Fisher has ever been on camera! Can't even recall the last time I've heard him swear lol
Great video. It will be interesting to see what this might become. Have a nice weekend Captain
Fantastic review! I don't want that product at all but its good to hear such deets about it.
Every time I see this thing I think to myself “my Apple Watch can do this”, or even, you know, a phone can do all of this.
If there’s anything that this product does for me is make me want to wear my Apple Watch again, because a watch being able to do so many things on its own is very cool.
Paying more than I did for my phone for something that can do less and has a mandatory subscription plan? I can't wait to sign up!
This would make way more sense as a phone accessory or pair of smart glasses, it's one of those cases where they took a cool idea without considering the real situations where it would be used, like the projector only working indoors.
