This is an ridiculously specialized device which not only works with a specific laptop brand, but with a specific phone brand. That has “unreliable” written all over it. And it is a form of tying in that is extremely questionable in what are supposed to be competitive economies, and standards-based technology industries.

And it’s expensive and the benefit to the user is very marginal: when you don’t have a reliable internet connection and can’t get one, but still want more or less up-to-date e-mail, this device… saves you a little battery life by allowing the machine to stay asleep.
