Am I the only one who thinks the community is being to hard on the Rabbit R1? (lemmy.zip)

Sure, it runs Android. What did people expect? They aren't going to build a custom system from scratch.

The appeal is the form factor

I think the Rabbit R1 is an underbaked and dumb product. That said, Rabbit would have had to have had a few too many kicks to the head if they seriously considered not just running Android under the hood. Android is open source, and there is no good reason to not utilize the hundreds of millions of dollars that Google has already poured into developing mature a mature operating system with all the drivers and frameworks they need.
