Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app (arstechnica.com)

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.

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?🤦‍♂️
