Ask HN: What would anyone want to buy portal from facebook?
No offence to anyone at facebook. Its just that I donot get that how would the experience be any different from using a laptop or a mobile phone for making video calls?
Being a dedicated device it’s also easier to use for non-technical people (I wouldn’t trust elderly, non-technical people with a Windows laptop and Skype on it, but I’m pretty sure they would be able to use Portal just fine).
