As a follow-up to the previous post about the Rabbit, and how its functions could probably be done on/with a smartphone:

Waves of uninspired #PlayDate knockoff energy emanating from this thing's industrial design alone.

I love that Panic has inspired interest in novel form factors and human input devices (like the PlayDate crank or that R1 wheelie thing). But I have a deep dislike of cheap immitations.

@toolbear they were both designed by Teenage Engineering

@GammaGames @toolbear I wonder what the Panic Playdate team thought when they first saw it.

Good to know. Thank you. I can't decide if that supports or refutes my accusation. Probably refutes it unless an even more cynical interpretation turns out to be correct. I'll wait to learn more.

Regardless, yay to the PlayDate inspiring novel designs and Teenage Engineering getting continued work.

@tomhannen
Yes, indeed. I would feel flattered mostly, I think, were it me.
