This is very impressive. I would have tons of questions, though, as I don't understand :-)

How did the device know that he accepts the call? He didn't do something as far as I am aware.

And how did the device know that he wants the translation into French, or that he wants a translation at all?

He says that it's private. But how? Doesn't have the device sync with other data, e.g., some health data base (regarding the chocolate example)? Where does the data sit, in the cloud or on the device? Meaning, does the device also work offline or do you need a cloud (or a network)?

And how does the device learn and store new data (e.g., that he ate a chocolate)? And when he eats the chocolate, does this go into some database? If so, who controls this data?

If the company is touting privacy, then I'd assume that the data is either stored on the device itself or on a secure network. However, I'm not sure since this isn't discussed.

To answer all of your other questions we'll just wait to see when tech writers get their hands on it. I will, certainly, be watching out for all of the claims being made.

I will, too :-)

Thanks for sharing this, I wasn't aware if this company.
