I agree; I think it will be successful.

> it doesn’t look enjoyable or practical to use

You can say that about any phone (an iPhone, flagship Samsung, etc) that is not in a case. I bet it will be enjoyable and practical once they put it in a case.

You think the video shows it will fail. I think the video shows it will succeed.

You say it doesn't look enjoyable or practical to use, I'm saying 'Duh, it's a prototype not in a case, sitting flat on a table.'

He's talking about the software so your comments about cases and tables feel unrelated. If you just mean to say it's still a prototype, it could've been phrased better.

When you said "I agree" then followed up with a statement opposite to what he said, that also felt like a non-sequitur.
