It shows that I am getting old, but I am completely failing to see the value in this thingy, almost 600,000 US$ seem to me a lot of money for what looks like a (nice) toy for grown up men, it seems improbable that they will sell many of them.

The 600 million evaluation is more likely to come from their other product:
