Humane’s Ai Pin wearable will cost $699

[The Morning After]( It's Friday, November 10, 2023. Wearable startup Humane has officially unveiled its first device, the [Ai Pin](. For months, the company has drip fed information, only offering a glimpse of the device, wielded by Naomi Campbell, of all people, at Paris Fashion Week in October. The Ai Pin is a pocket-worn wearable AI assistant that can reportedly perform the tasks our current phones and voice assistants do, but without a screen, instead operating primarily through voice commands and, occasionally, a virtual screen projected onto the user’s hand. It works independently of other devices, connected to its own phone network through T-Mobile, but on Humane’s own MVNO because that’s even more complicated. The device will cost $700, and another $24 per month for unlimited talk, text and data, and will ship in early 2024. [[TMA] Humane]( We’re still waiting for deeper hands-on impressions and demonstrations of the technology. I’m skeptical, and not just because it’s been just over ten years since Google Glass [tried to be a thing](. Have a great weekend, and make sure you check out our new [TMA series on YouTube]( where I try to make more work for our wonderful video team, every Saturday. — Mat Smith ​​You can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox.

The $550 Steam Deck OLED is not the Steam Deck 2. This is a mid-cycle refresh from Valve, similar to the Switch OLED upgrade, but there’s a lot more going on internally here. Its screen is better, its battery life is better and its chip and thermals are better — but it’s still a big ole handheld. The updated display is the device’s highlight, while things like faster charging, improved antennas and smoother controls are welcome bonuses.
