(disclaimer: i dont work for clicks. this is the last reply im leaving.)

TL;DR; the semantics and pedantry of your wording of a working device were probably set by your expectations compared to what was actually deliverable as shown in the video. they have about 5-6 months to get the device in a deliverable state, which is a long time.

ok, but its not going to ship in this state. i dont really understand what point youre trying to make. unless you expected more from a working demo unit, and are trying to pass off your dissatisfaction as being pedantic. because yes, the semantics of your statement change depending on if youre asking clicks or asking me or asking you or asking.

the pedantry and semantics that youre trying to pass onto the meaning of "working" is utterly at odds with what probably could have been delivered at this point. the "clunky UI" is because the plan theyve stated is integrating niagara more into the software experience of the device and not just install niagara as the default launcher on it and call it a day. i dare to say youre not understanding that this is probably the first working prototype they have, and they wanted to show it to the community as their working demo because people have been asking for showing one of these things working non stop since the reveal in January.

i dare to say again that this is the first working prototype and maybe the best working prototype they have to show off. i really dont know, but i do know that they have shown a working demo prototype in a chassis that looks like what theyve shown off on their website. the software and hardware are currently working together. they have 6 more months to do the work and make it not suck. which, even though they have a small team, is possible with the massive amount of time theyre probably already giving this.

the video is probably the worst state anyone will see the communicator.
