[wvenable]

With v1 being basically DOA -- and not just for software reasons but fundamental design and cost reasons -- I doubt we will ever see a version 2 from Humane.

What will see, eventually, is similar devices from other companies that are not trying to build their own ecosystem but are happy to be a peripheral of an existing ecosystem. The will also probably compromise on design more to make it smaller, lighter, and cheaper. And even then it will be niche.
