Dory Sign: A Quiet, Long‑Lasting E Ink Display That Depends on Its App

Ars Technica reviews the Dory Sign, a $149 5.2-inch E Ink sign controlled by a Bluetooth iOS/Android app for real-time text and image edits, with multi-user editing, a long battery life claimed up to 15 years, and IP44 durability; praised for a simple, readable display and Calm Tech credentials, the piece warns that its usefulness hinges on ongoing software support, since losing the app could effectively brick the device.

Sonos Amp Multi: a hidden, install-first amplifier powered by a steadfast app

Sonos unveils Amp Multi, a wall-friendly eight-channel amplifier meant to be the wired hub of a whole-home system. It has no built-in controls and is controlled entirely through the Sonos app, with setup handled by an installer. The unit supports wired ethernet or Wi‑Fi, Apple AirPlay and other streaming options, and features like ProTune EQ. The major caveat is that its success hinges on a stable app experience, given ongoing prior app issues, and pricing is determined during installation.
