i've never seen this before. they boast about this sort of shit to the media as if it matters to consumers but really theyre just selling this to the us military for like 10000% markup right??

i had the impression this was going to be a consumer public thing. ultimately all the problems they show in the video were solved by just making better phones, so this didn't have a leg to stand on.
clarification: i meant it would be purchased by businesses and used largely by members of the public, not actually purchased by consumers
