I finally received the rabbit r1 (the company insists on this lowercase styling) I’ve been writing about since its debut at CES in January. And I was able to tell within about 30 seconds of turning it on that it was shipped a couple months too soon — but honestly…that’s fine? It’s weird, relatively cheap, and obviously an experiment. To me that’s something we should be rallying behind, not dunking on.

The actual issues with the r1 are obvious: it doesn’t have enough app integrations, and it “could just be an app.”
