This is a mirror that, from only the pictures shown:
- Tells you the date and time
- Tells you the weather (and suggestions!)
- Tells you the temperature
- Can list your to-do list and major reminders
- Shows (personalized!) stock market updates
- Shows xkcd
- Is a mirror
It could clearly do so much more, but on a typical weekday morning before work that's an easy, efficient way to get a number of morning "tasks" done. Big deal to me!
So everything your phone does already with a swipe of a finger?
I might be underestimating how this might be important in your daily morning routine, but I can fairly well tell the weather by looking thru the window. My alarm is set on phone and I'll have pretty good estimate how much time I've spend in shower.
To-do looks somewhat useful if you actually update it. It's something your phone already does. Personally it is almost always empty as I do not put work items on it.
Stock price and xkcd looks just as gimmicky as first two functions. It always make me cringe a little when smartphone manufacturers advertise their lock screens with such widgets.
Yes, your phone can do everything that this mirror can and more. Well, except work as a mirror.
The entire point of this is that this is a household object that you need anyway, but that it leaks information that might be useful to you. So you would skip the step of taking out your phone and checking xyz. Yes, you'll only save 30 seconds or so of your time. But that's every day and that's one step you don't have to remember to do.
