Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (www.androidauthority.com)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by thequantumcog to c/technology
 

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a.

Edit: Someone also got doom and Minecraft running on this thing

I thought we always knew that the device was going to be Android.

It's crazy you can just download and run it on any other android device though. I'd have thought they'd have locked it down somewhat.

Any link to the r1 running doom or Minecraft?

I never really understood who these products were for. I can’t help but think the only end result is a small number of people getting rich off of VC money and some misguidedly optimistic folks getting ripped off by buying these devices.

These products male no sense on the age of smart phones. They will end up just being an app we download or free features of our phones at some point.
