Teenage Engineering does interesting and good work. Similar to Kano, they have very good modern design ideas and they produce actual devices. That's the best thing about this useless evil thing. It exists in the world and can provide inspiration for others to work on.

Another positive-ish thing to say would be is that this device is likely going to increase in value. Not because its popular but because it is going to be rare.

I admire your dedication to finding positive things, but if this particular cloud-dependent chunk of plastic appreciates in value I’ll eat my Audrey.

The author seems to be on the fence regarding this device, although there are some subtle clues in there that he may be _leaning_ towards not liking it. They're hard to spot though.

It does beg the question of why it's implemented in hardware though, and not just an app on your phone.

Their Pocket Operators are great although, as the article points out, the rest of their audio products are incredibly expensive for what you get.

The PO are still expensive for the hardware they have and the UX leaves a lot to be desired...
