At a time when tech giants like Apple and Amazon hadn’t cracked the voice control tech, Dabby TV came on board to save the day. This impressive TV was a two-part set-top box consisting of a tablet device that combined touch and speech control, and an HDMI dongle that plugged into your TV set. Dabby TV was designed to sit on your table and navigate TV channels and stream online video content like YouTube, Netflix, and ESPN. You could also browse social media platforms like Instagram and Twitch by speaking or tapping on this device. The Dabby TV streaming box works best for proximity-based connections and can be paired with speakers to play music.
Dabby TV was probably the most ambitious futuristic TV on the planet. In addition to voice control and AI-powered search functionalities, Dabby TV tried to consolidate all subscriptions by helping users find media over every streaming app possible. While the reasons are still unclear, Dabby TV never really set sail after its reveal at CES 2020 (via CNET).
But it’s glaring to see that for technology so young and a product still new, Dabby spoke too soon. The company planned to sell the Dabby Touch and HDMI dongle kit for a pre-order price of $149, while the retail price of the individual devices would stand at $299 and $49, respectively, afterward. Quite painfully, the Kickstarter campaign to raise $50,000 before the launch flopped, and units were never shipped.
