alt Hacker NewsWell, this is Hacker News, and you can’t even make apps for the device - there’s nothing to hack on. Of course this audience isn’t excited about it. It’s a Facebook Portal, with better privacy (at least).

Installing apps on a phone isn't hacking. An actual hacker would find ways to make this run Marble Blast Gold.
Hacker news isn't just programmers nowadays.
If this didn't have apps, but did have beautifully designed physical inputs, a color e-ink, and cost 1/3 as much I'd still be very excited for it.
It's just a bit derivative and isn't priced to take over the market (like the mac mini in 2025 was).
