Ha, I actually missed Amals reply, had I seen it, I wouldn’t have bothered putting in my two cents
Thanks for highlighting (and Not derailing)
I totally get your point
and also (Amals) Vivokeys
Just to reiterate my point
Look at the ApexFlex vs. FlexSecure rollout.
VivoKey released the ApexFlex locked down to Fidesmo. You buy it, install it, use Fidesmo for applets, and Apex Manager to run them. It’s a straight-forward path that even a newcomer can follow without getting lost.
Later, DangerousThings dropped the FlexSecure. It was basically an unlocked Apex, but it was strictly for the “advanced user.” It would’ve been way too much for a beginner to wrap their head around—
at least until Tac0s built the Global Platform GUI and made it easily manageable.
We want more people with implants and bringing them to the mainstream; complication and questions like the FlexSecure comes with don’t sell products, Simple plug n’ play devices like the VK ApexFlex and VK Thermo do
VivoKey is clearly building its own ecosystem here, and that isn’t a bad thing. When you buy a VivoKey product, you get a predictable, reliable experience.
Some people are Apple fanboys; I personally hate them for a lot of reasons. But you have to admit they handle their seamless ecosystem integration and premium product tier well.
VivoKey is hitting those same high notes, just without the corporate arrogance or the other negative traits that come with Apple.
THAT is what you are buying into.
I was going to join the BeUno beta, but opted out, however I have been following the progress, and from what I have seen, if you want an NFC implantable thermometer, in my opinion, the VK Thermo is your best option that is avaliable right now, my point is:
If you wait, there MIGHT be a DT released unlocked xThermo. Then again, there might not…
