The Story in Brief
OpenAI’s first hardware device may be a battery-powered, screenless smart speaker shaped like a small doughnut, India Today reports, citing Bloomberg. Roughly the size of a hockey puck, it could include cameras, sensors, microphones, speaker grills, lights and movable parts. The lights would show when it is listening.
Designed with former Apple designer Jony Ive’s LoveFrom studio, the device is intended for use around the home and could adapt conversations to its owner over time. India Today reports that OpenAI may price it at $300, about Rs 28,000, in the US. The launch is expected in 2027. OpenAI is also facing an Apple lawsuit over alleged trade-secret theft, which it denies.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that a sleek AI gadget will replace the smartphone, while the opposing complaint is that it is simply an expensive smart speaker. Both claims run ahead of the evidence. A camera-equipped, always-available companion still has to prove its privacy safeguards, battery life and usefulness without a screen. The real test will be whether users pay about Rs 28,000 for it when it launches, and keep using it after the novelty fades.
