Didn’t realise it was a subscription service too. How dim would you have to be to pay 700 dollars for a device on the understanding that it won’t work unless you keep paying 24 more dollars every single month?
People that buy subscriptions like this are a bigger problem than the companies that offer them
The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.
Their subscription service costs $24 a month? This is madness.
I am guessing this because the processing is done in the cloud? But then why the $700 price for the “AI Pin” device; what exactly does it do justify a $700 cost if processing is done in the cloud?
Nothing. Literally just using your phone is faster and easier.
CPU: Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon (Snapdragon 720G to be exact, they don’t list it on their page though) Memory: 4GB RAM Storage: 32GB eMMC
They have a bunch of other HW too (LTE modem, camera, voice etc.), but this does look like one of those “legal” silicon valley type scams.
Sure it’s got half decent specs, but all the “magic”(read as almost semi-functional) stuff happens server side.
$700 dollars worth half decent?
Yeah, it did look like everything happens server-side. Still seems like a borderline scam.
I’d say it’s so far past the border ICE is hunting it down. And no, like $200 half decent.
I don’t like calling people “sheeple” but there’s nothing else that would fit for those who bought this.
