It’s mostly marketing hype/fluff. Still interesting.

They said last month that by the end of this month we should have some kind of Hands-On with a working demo - looking forward to it!

    I’m curious, what are some of those constraints that you hadn’t anticipated?

      I found I needed to take photos more often than I thought I would, and the camera on this is pretty garbo. Even if the camera were better, it’s incredibly difficult with the e-ink screen so you kind of have to snap one and hope for the best.

      My friend group has this group chat, and we share a lot of random pictures and videos. Videos are pretty much unwatchable, so I have to pause them every few seconds to do kind of a slide show to see what it is they sent. Pictures are a little better to make out, but sometimes they’re just inscrutable on the e-ink. Reaction gifs are also kind of painful lol.

      Those are the two biggest drawbacks I didn’t anticipate. Otherwise, it’s a great device.
