Anki Drive

Here's a quick video of what they've demoed...
As yet, the iOS beta app is only available in the US.
It does raise lots of questions and possibilities.
So anyone in the US want to give us a review of Anki's beta app?

They are offering the Starter pack for $149 now (down from $199). I wonder if they are having trouble selling it?

Typical marketing reaction as Real FX Racing is about to be released and offers a lot more than Anki Drive

I want a slot car. We may as well introduce an R/C section here too!!!

Ok I LOVE slot cars!!!

The better news here is that they are about to release an app that allows the Android users to play as well.

If sales are that good, you generally don't discount your price. Why would you?

Yeah, that's the strange thing.
Maybe sales aren't so good, and they're hoping that making it Andoid compatible will boost sales, and it's statistically shown that Andoid users tend to be a bit cheaper than Apple users, wanting cheaper and free apps, whereas Apple users are more willing (statistically) to pay more for apps, and not expect them all to be free. So, to get the Android crowd, they also have to reduce the set price, and hope to make up the profit in numbers? I have no idea, just guessing.

I'm guessing it will be BLE 4.0 (re the Android app)

This is interesting
