Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (www.androidauthority.com)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a.

Edit: Someone also got doom and Minecraft running on this thing

This is the second time I've read about this specific reviewer having a sane perspective on way overhyped gadgets. Sounds worth checking out. I'm used to videos being completely worthless because they are usually trying to get product affiliate money and YouTube ad revenue at the same time.

He's my go-to for tech reviews. He'll happily gush about what he likes, but he isn't shy about what isn't good.

I don't remember a single occasion where he was sponsored by the company he's reviewing. He gets sent products all the time, but it seems to always be with the stipulation that if he thinks it sucks, he'll say so.

I watched this review to check him out after writing that. I think he's pretty great. YouTube is fucking awful, I'll have to catch him somewhere else.

For a counterpoint, I ask you to see his Cybertruck review, he definitely put his kiddy gloves for it.

Oh, thank you. Damn, you hate to see it.
