Sure, it runs Android. What did people expect? They aren’t going to build a custom system from scratch.

    200usd is 10 months of chatgpt subscription. So it definitely has objective value. I’d buy it just make my own little bot or as casual toy. There’s no subscription or anything either.

    I agree that the hate is meme levels of stupid. Sure the device sucks but people pick on the weirdest shit like “it uses android” or “it runs VM for actions that have no API” - well duuuuh.
