Anyway, HP has now bought the company and its either shutting down sales and support or its modifiying its objectives.

However, what do you think would have been the potential of the product? I dont think it would have been significant anyway because we have AI powered mobile phones and this is just adding one more device (and e-waste) on to your body.

Also, note this - HP has bought their AI potential - not the concept in itself.

The pin didn't do anything but act as a microphone, speaker, and projector, as shown in several demos. Essentially, they bought a patent to a new smartwatch (had it not been patented and protected already).

I hope they didn't pay too much because the backend of the pin is what is going to cost them the money to launch and run, or the AI itself, rather.

Still, nobody is going to use that dumb pin as an AI device when they have one on their wrist or in their pocket, capable of doing the same, if not more, using other AI LLMs and applications.

If I were an investor in HP, I would have to know more about what they got on the backend. Was it AI? Or was it just an application sending API requests to current AI systems (like ChatGPT) to respond, and then the pin to then decipher how to render the response?
