content: lifefuels - slick consumer design, lousy pricing.This is a $180 bottle that can flavour your water via your smartphone. But the expensive bits are the flavour pods!Julie Strietelmeier's awesome review and brutal conclusion is worth the read. LifeFuels won't be sending her any product in the future!https://the-gadgeteer.com/2020/01/31/lifefuels-smart-water-bottle-review/

content: Quote from: SiliconWizard on April 20, 2020, 02:37:22 pmCheck out the toy puppets things on the right side of the desk.I see they have vitamins in the bottles so it looks like some kind of portable dispenser.Seems to me a lot of effort to operate it from a phone when you could just push few buttons in front or better yet pour it yourself.Quote from: Haenk on April 20, 2020, 09:17:51 amMaybe they could put a twirling arm around it like that one from the Lightsaber Kickstarter project EEVblog #1251 - LifeSaber Kickstarter - A Master of None FAIL video.One thing good about that article:QuoteMore like a pain to use.Save yourself a ton of sense.
