    You might want to do some research on those devices. There was some news about how there were some exploits that could lock the user in the device. This is an old note, but I would still be careful. Maybe some more knowledgeable user can shed light on this issue?

      this was a prank done by someone trying to expose how easy news companies will pick up stories with no research or fact checking. they later did a youtube video that explained that. I have no experience with the cellmate, but yeah - kinda sad that it (probably) hurt their sales

      Thanks! yes, I read about that situation in some reviews about the hacks and such (and indeed that is always the downside/danger)
