Why do people care so much that it's an app? If it was not an app would everyone have been buying it in droves?

Because it means the $200 hardware is pointless.

Isn't the point of the device that there's no screen and you talk to it? You can't clip your phone to your chest.

Not that I would buy the device, it seems like they are trying to sell a story or futurism vibe to replace the "classic smartphone experience".

It has a screen. You're thinking of the Humane Ai Pin, which projects a screen on your hand but is mostly meant to just be talked to.

I think you're thinking of the humane AI pin.

It's just a toy, a neat gadget, I also wouldn't care if it was an app, it would be just another gpt frontend
