A product that wound up never actually existing, and does not appear to pass the WP:GNG. While it had a flurry of news coverage when the crowdfunding campaign was announced, this dried up immediately after and thus there was no WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Pretty much the only piece of coverage I found that came after the period of the crowdfunding campaign was one confirming that the device was never completed.

- Weak keep Plenty of coverage in the Smithsonian, Sydney Morning Herald, PCMag and Cnet at the time of "introduction" of the device. I suppose it's not sustained coverage, but we could build an article talking about it before it was cancelled. Oaktree b (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete All of the articles that I can find are clearly based on pre-launch company announcements. It's easy to see that because they all use the same photo. E.g. PC Magazine. I can find no independent review of the product. The is an IEEE article critical of crowd-funding for highly speculative tech using this as its example. I can see why the company PR appeared in so many magazines - it's about DOGS and their thoughts. But all I can learn is that the company used a go-fund-me to get started.

- Delete I do not even remember creating this page, it having been so long ago - I was 17 - , and I agree it seems to not pass WP:GNG anymore, if it even did back then. Minor, pre-launch buzz news articles are not enough for a product that ended up not even launching and then completely disappeared from the media, in my opinion.
