    Rabbit has a SIM slot. I think the idea is that once its software gets better, it will be able to be a replacement for a phone for people who just want to quickly do simple things. Its battery seems to be pretty rubbish, though, and for now, the software is not nearly good enough.

      But it’s just an Android app in a dedicated device that reviews say has a shit interface and battery.

      Run it on a cheap phone that does more for less.

        The battery part is fixed now 😂 they were able to give that thing 5x battery lifetime trough a software update

        Makes me wonder what they where doing in the background prior this update

      The rabbit is also just an android apk. You could literally install the rabbit on a cheap phone if you’d like. It’s beyond useless.

      What someone needs to do is put something similar into something all cutesy like a Furby, and sell it for kids. Just a $100 wifi only PG rated thing that can do some fun stuff. It wouldn’t change the world, but it could run a few years of actual profiting and not feel like a rip-off.
