Re: I could see risking a phone for $299
The article said that they bought an entire company, distribution, service etc. to gain traction.
Given the price of a 60 inch mere token of a TV these days, the extra is not really worth it, for a while.
That size (and actual TV) will be 2000 in just a year so many will wait, they expect that I am sure.
Given that it runs Android, I just hope it doesn't have a camera/mic or network access, oh!
Close those ports people, and don't install any apps of course.
