They were expecting it to not be Android, but something more custom. Like I feel even just bare bones Linux would've been more acceptable.
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.
Would you pay $200 for an android app?
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?🤦♂️
