Humane's $700 Ai Pin Discontinued and Defunct After Less Than 1 Year

I was never impressed when it was launched initially. Always thought that it was something not going to be successful. Somehow the initial demand and hype was high. Anyway good to see HP acquiring it and maybe with the patents, HP will make something useful in the future.

Hopefully more than they did with Palm.....the Pre was ahead of its time and HP blundered that IP....

A true shame

It'd be interesting and probably amazing to be in world with smartphone competition between Palm, Microsoft, Google and Apple (and even more players would be better)

This is one of the reasons I dislike this kind of capitalism. You spend $700 (not small change!) to have a device that soon will not only be not supported, but is entirely useless, unless you think wearing that square of a thing is jewellery in fashion.

Did anyone actually buy this and use it, besides all the influencers that got it for free and hyped it (besides MKBHD who was honest in his review)

Honest like his Apple reviews or really honest honest this time?

That's good. It was a useless thing anyway.

I’m surprised they lasted that long…

Didn’t HP buy WebOS at the end of the road for Palm? I guess this is their modus operandi.

Well that didn’t last long and was moved to the back page.

Maybe they can sell the tech to Apple and they can glean from the interface.

All the babies crying about a refund 🙄 Blame MKBHD 😂🤣 It's his fault.
