$10/month from AT&T and Verizon, with a few months free up front.
I was interested for no additional charge. I might have been talked into it for $5/month. For some reason, $10/month kills my interest. I'm sure others will decide that's a bargain.
Agreed. The thing isn't going to congest the bandwidth all things considered. $10 is just too rich for the value proposition, but people just love their internets.
I'm most excited about the built-in GPS and music streaming, which would mean I can track my runs and listen to music without my phone. GPS watches cost $300+ anyway so this isn't a stretch.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve always been rather 'meh' about the watch - the only really useful thing I’ve found in a smart watch was the ability to display notifications on the wrist.
However with the addition of cellular data (and if it works as advertised and has reasonable battery life) it does rather .... exciting.
No! I am excited for both as I've been sucking every last breath from my iPhone 5 waiting for this phone heh. But the watch to me is awesome. It's actually what I would have liked to see in the series one regarding cellular. It's now a dick Tracy watch! I'm ordering two for me and the wife.
Considering their market share, a lot of people have never been excited about them.
I think the iPhone excitement is mostly a US thing. For a lot of people here, it was the first smartphone they saw - or even their first mobile device.
It's hard to get excited about iPhones when you're used to more modern technology.
Hi hackers,
I’m Tin, the founder and CEO of OSVehicle (YC W16), which makes open source electric vehicle hardware platforms (chassis, braking and suspension system, lithium batteries, electric motor, etc…).
I’m proud to announce here a new platform is entering our ecosystem, POM, based on the Renault Twizy EV and soon available for everyone to develop, hack, create new mobility solutions.
For the first time in the automotive history, a big automaker is releasing its electric vehicle platform in Open Source and it will be available to everyone on sale through a partnership with OSVehicle.
Also ARM is involved in this partnership.
Sign up to get more future communications (sales, source files, launch, etc…).
Feel free to ask me and my team anything here too! We’d love to hear your feedback.
Putting a lithium battery on a traditional car doesn't make the mobility industry more sustainable. Tesla's are still going to end up in car graveyards..
To be sustainable, we need to rethink how cars are designed from the bottom up. Especially to sustain the growth in car-as-a-service (i.e. Higher usage rates) we need modular design to have replaceable and upgradable parts, without throwing away what works.
That's why we created OSVehicle,the first open source electric vehicle platform. www.osvehicle.com
