• 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.

    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.

              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.
