It sounds like the company is now blocking access from "bootleg" APKs.
  • 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.

    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.

            I don’t know how you don’t understand how this is different. You could literally buy a better phone that can run lots of other Android apps faster for $200.

            Everything else you listed there has unique attributes, it’s not just a crippled, crappy phone running a single app. A drone flies, a smart HVAC control…controls your HVAC… Do I have to continue?🤦‍♂️
