• Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
  • Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
  • AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

    Linux isnt custom, its just another open source OS. This is ridiculous.

      Dude it’s an android app they are trying to sell for $200. Why apologize for this thing? Get some better expectations.

        You say android app like that makes it worthless. Its software they made running on hardware they designed.

            For a device thats running an android app. Yeah ive bought plenty of game systems. It could be like a drone, or smart hvac control, drawing tablet, vr headset, 3d printer. There are so many expensive programmed electronics.

              I don’t know how you don’t understand how this is different. You could literally buy a better phone that can run lots of other Android apps faster for $200.

              Everything else you listed there has unique attributes, it’s not just a crippled, crappy phone running a single app. A drone flies, a smart HVAC control…controls your HVAC… Do I have to continue?🤦‍♂️
