It's so weird how they're just insisting it isn't an android app even though people have proven it is. Who do they expect to believe them?
They have thought of a specific design for the device using its own interaction modality and created a product that is more than just software.
Therefore don't get why people refer to it being just an app? Does it make it worth less, because it runs on Android? Many devices, e.g. e-readers are just Android Apps as well. If it works it works.
In this case it doesn't, so why not focus on that?
my honda is just android software, if thats the only part you look at too.
This is more like someone offering a "brand new method of personal travel" to replace your car, but it turns out that it's just an old Honda with only one seat, a fuel tank that only holds 10L, and a custom navigation app. There's nothing it does that your Honda can't do better, and you won't want to replace your Honda with this.
true but we all have tons of successful devices that are secretly like this, smart doorbells and flood lights and watches etc. we also have all seen terrible ones. its the implementation that isn't magical.
What's your problem with smart dildos?
