@secretsquirrel Therein lies the problem. If it was like Pebble which has out of the box functionality WITH an API, I'd buy it for $150 in a heartbeat. As it is, it feels predatory on devs, as there's no guarantee consumers will ever get their hands on it.
@secretsquirrel Yeah; I don't think we're disagreeing. I was just pointing out that it irks me that they didn't go the Leap route and let developers buy them at a reduced price (or have them for free).
@secretsquirrel Leap, for example, specifically gave developers free units in order to solve this problem. I only have one because I'm willing to experiment on an untested platform.
@secretsquirrel Sure, but my point is that these are not the Xbox Kinect or Nintendo Wiimote which were purposefully built not as a standalone interaction device but as a solution to real world problems. Paying $150 for something that does nothing is bad.
New to App.net? I recommend Wedge ( http://wedge.natestedman.com/ ) on OS X and Netbot ( http://tapbots.com/software/netbot/ ) on iOS.
No clue on Android or Windows.
@secretsquirrel My real problem with Myo and other products like Leap Motion, Sphero, and pretty much everything that focuses on the interaction method rather than improving interactions with them is that they're not actually solving real problems.

Oh, hey, App.net. How’s it going? I keep forgetting to check in with you because all of you still use the network that shall not be named.
