Rabbit recently said their AI service can only be accessed on the R1 with its “very bespoke AOSP” firmware, but that isn’t true.
  • Rabbit R1, AI gadget, runs on Android app, not requiring “very bespoke AOSP” firmware as claimed by Rabbit.
  • Rabbit R1 launcher app can run on existing Android phones, not needing system-level permissions for core functionality.
  • Rabbit R1 firmware analysis shows minimal modifications to standard AOSP, contradicting claims of custom hardware necessity by Rabbit.

    Some phones and PDAs from decades ago had a “jog dial” on the side, like a mouse scroll wheel.

    It was so easy to roll through menus and just push it to click.

    The separate roller and button arrangement this has seems such a poor choice in comparison.
