Sure, it runs Android. What did people expect? They aren’t going to build a custom system from scratch.

The appeal is the form factor

    They claim they made a custom os, so its totally reasonable to assume they are going to build a custom system from scratch

    https://www.rabbit.tech/rabbit-os

    They make no mention of AOSP

    And finally, the whole thing is just an app and the device is entirely pointless

    edit. and after watching someone use it - whats the point?! Its just a phone with a much worse interface, a terrible form factor, and it doesn’t even function.

    Is OP the rabbit CEO or something

      Oh ffs, what a shitty, juvenile website. All lowercase, no real explanation of what it does, other than track users by having everything go through their servers.

      Sounds like a scam to me.

      And push to talk? Who uses that anymore? Welcome to 2000.

      Why would you want them to build it from scratch? That would just drive up cost and hurt the repairability of the device.

      If they put android in the marketing materials people would assume that it is google android.
