Says there is no wake word, so it's not always listening, but responds to your voice... aka it's always listening then no? And rather only processing info when it thinks it hears a wake word it would always be processing no? Having to hold up my hand to get a limited screen, all seems to be solving a problem that is already solved with a phone, and if one wants a smaller device use an Apple Watch with on device Siri and cellular. This seems far nitcher than even Google products that always appeared dead on arrival.

You press it to activate it. That’s when it starts listening. It’s not always on.

Strange given it's placed in a way where it's always there. Did seem like a bit of a contradiction when he said that. It's always listening but it's not always listening but it is.
