Meta launches AI gadget Charm as race for post-smartphone hardware heats up
From smart glasses and pins to handheld gadgets, companies are betting artificial intelligence will reshape how consumers interact with technology.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a new handheld device called Meta Charm on Wednesday, expanding the company's hardware efforts beyond its successful smart glasses. The AI-powered gadget, roughly the size of an Apple AirPods case, features a small 2-inch touchscreen and a built-in 5G connection. Meta announced that the Charm would be available for purchase during the holiday season in December, though the exact price has not been disclosed.
Speaking at Meta's annual device event, Meta Connect in Menlo Park, California, Zuckerberg emphasized the compact design of the Charm, stating that it can fit on a keychain and is always ready to engage in conversation.
