The Rabbit R1 is an AI Powered Gadget

The R1 looks a little like a Playdate console or maybe a modernized version of one of those ’90s-era handheld TVs. It’s a standalone gadget about half the size of an iPhone with a 2.88-inch touchscreen, a rotating camera for taking photos and videos, and a scroll wheel button you press to navigate around or talk to the device built-in assistant. It has a 2.3GHz MediaTek processor, 4GB of memory, and 128GB of storage, all inside a rounded body designed in collaboration with the design firm Teenage Engineering. All Rabbit says about the battery is that it lasts.

The device also has a simpler design you use the R1 as a voice assistant, which is activated by the press of a button on the side of the device, and ask the action that you need the LAM to perform.

The $ 200 price tag is a good entry point for something which many people would be interested. It clearly generated enough interest to have sold out 2 batches of 10,000 R1. Further, the Rabbit website also mentions the fourth batch is also sold out at the time of writing 

The Rabbit R1 is an exciting device that could bring the first step of having a mainstream device which makes use of LAM. At the price of $ 200, and no subscription, even casual tech enthusiasts would be interested as the initial buy-in is considerably lower when compared to similarly targeted devices like the Humane AI Pin.

However, I disagree that we are growing tired of our phones. Instead, the point should be that this device can be the perfect companion for your smartphone to simplify a lot of the tasks that require multiple clicks to get from point A to point B. The Spotify and Uber examples make relatively more sense.
