AI Hardware Innovations Seek Niche Beyond Phones
-
New AI hardware products are emerging, but need to prove they offer distinct advantages over smartphones to justify separate devices.

Custom hardware can enable better input methods and more control over features than smartphones allow.
-
Skepticism of unproven products is reasonable, but innovation requires room for new ideas to develop.
-
Companies should clearly demonstrate why custom hardware is necessary for their product vision before taking pre-orders.
-
Early adopters play an important role, but should acknowledge the risks of buying glorified prototypes.
