@CamBunton @cliftonmthomas @LaurenGoode two issues: 1) it's E12, not E14, but the vast majority of household bulbs are E26 here. E12 bulbs are fine when there are multiples of them in one fixture, but very dim on their own. LED only makes it worse. 2) it's not that small of a lamp! overwhelms most bedside tables. — PolitiTweet.org

@RDRv3 @IgorBonifacic vloggers would arguably want the brighter, shallower DOF from the old lens more than the current and likely will never use the long end of the lens, but hey, Sony ain't paying me to design its products so what do i know — PolitiTweet.org

@cliftonmthomas @LaurenGoode Sonos has been around for like 15 years, I'd call it a safe bet that its existing products will be supported for a very long time, acquisition or not. My problem with this is it's not a good lamp, even if it's a fine speaker. Integrated stuff needs to be good at both. — PolitiTweet.org

@IgorBonifacic same, new lens isn't nearly bright enough. — PolitiTweet.org

@LaurenGoode still waiting for some company to actually get the dual-purpose thing right. everything is a negative compromise so far — PolitiTweet.org

it took Sony SEVEN GENERATIONS to add a damn mic jack to the RX100, but they finally did the thing. too bad it will cost you $1200 to get it. — PolitiTweet.org

@journeydan @chriswelch also the amount of heat generated from a 9W or 10W LED is pretty low definitely understand the "no incandescent" rule — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@journeydan @chriswelch sure, I can see all of that. but it doesn't change the fact that the resulting product is negatively compromised. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@rh_brown sure, I do the same. but that's not how Ecobee markets it, especially the latest model. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@journeydan @chriswelch problem easily solved if it used a standard E26 bulb, the candlabra choice baffles me, it's not a small product! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@journeydan @chriswelch table lamps should be more than accent lights, that's my issue with this. it occupies the space of something that is a much more effective lamp. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@journeydan @chriswelch *even most E26 (which are much brighter than E12 bulbs) — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@journeydan @chriswelch I disagree, most E26 LED bulbs are not really bright enough to illuminate a room, especially when they have warm white balance — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

so far, all of the "combination" or "crossover" smart home products that try to blend two distinct things together have been underwhelming. these may be good speakers, but they aren't a good shelf or lamp. the Ecobee is a good thermostat, but it isn't a good speaker. etc etc — PolitiTweet.org

@A_Webster @knguyen andrew beat me to it — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

.@chriswelch takes a look at the long awaited Ikea Sonos speakers. I’d be WAY more into the lamp if it actually was a good lamp that used standard bulbs instead of these tiny candlabra things that output no light https://t.co/tyxHjkzdS4 — PolitiTweet.org

@frederickfm not a new one, just using a Steel HR Sport — PolitiTweet.org

@g_schrage52 sure, but these companies are also fighting for prestige/mindshare, not just raw sales. everyone will be talking about/looking at the new iPhone, will they do the same for the Fold? unlikely. — PolitiTweet.org

lmao — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

also, September launch means the Fold will be going head to head with whatever new iPhone models are announced. will be interesting to see how that shakes out — PolitiTweet.org
