We unboxed Jibo this evening. Here are some quick observations:
The packaging is very nicely done, and it is easy to unbox
The setup process is friendly, and almost entirely done on Jibo except initially you need to install their iPhone app to setup WIFI on Jibo
It uses a QR code to send the WIFI info from the iPhone App to Jibo, nice touch
It rebooted many times before becoming useful
The built in apps / capability right now is not that great, it cannot play music, make calls, etc
So what does it do well? The movement is definitely well done. It can find and look at the speaker initiating the conversation. It has good programmed personality. I don't think anyone would pay full price for it until more applications are developed. But as an original Kickstarter backer, I am glad it's here, joining our household of multiple Amazon Echos.
