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.
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.

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.
The TP-7 and CM15 balance out the company's pocket-sized studio gear.
Making even the most specced-out Steam Deck OLED look reasonably priced, Teenage Engineering has completed its Field series of studio gear, and the whole kit will set you back $5,900. Now, for the TE faithful who are still reading, its more playful design and solid hardware can be creativity inducing, according to Engadget's James Trew.
Some people used it to 'commit unspeakably heinous crimes,' its founder admits.
Omegle, a chat service that pairs users with a random person so they can talk via text or video, is shutting down. Leif K-Brooks, who launched the service when he was 18 years old, announced its closure and talked about its humble beginnings. He admitted "some people misused [the service], including to commit unspeakably heinous crimes." Critics have raised concerns about the website's safety over the past years, with some even calling it a "magnet for pedophiles."
Bundles include Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
Following the news that Sony has now sold over 46.6 million PS5 consoles, its refreshed hardware is bubbling up in stores. A standard model with a copy of Marvel's 'Spider-Man 2 at no extra cost has hit Dell and Walmart, but the $500 bundle is going in and out of stock. The PS5 Slim (which isn't the official name) will likely be available at other retailers soon.
Listings for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundles have appeared at Walmart too, but they cost $609 and come with your choice of accessory. Sony initially suggested the PS5 Slim would only be available in the US initially, but standard models have popped up in Canada.
