Teenage Engineering is involved in a gimmick first product? Shocking!
https://play.date/
$150, black and white screen, plus pad, two buttons, and a hand-crank on the side. The $150 gets you the Playdate system plus the first dozen games, released one a week, each one a surprise. The first game is from Keita Takahashi. Needless to say, I'm in. I kind of love how weird and specialized it is.

I'm betting we're two of 4 people on this board who know who Teenage Engineering are. That they are makes me a little more interested!
To boldly go where lots of men have gone before...
I had never heard of Teenage Engineering before today. According to Wikipedia they do audio devices, speakers and synthesizers. I take it they're more popular than I'd expect?
I guess the B&W thing is an artistic expression, but I would have preferred a color screen.
Normally I'm all about the little gimmicky handhelds, but $150? Hard pass.
This looks like it could be a cool device for someone else to buy.

Is it e-ink or something?
