I think I'm squarely in the market for sonething like this.
But, one feature I feel would keep me away is support for MFA OTP, like Microsoft authenticator. Any idea on whether that would be available at launch?
Since it has the eink it could also be a book reader. I know that once too many things are added it takes away from the low aspect, but that seems like a good one to me.
It's hard to get a sense of dimensions from the images show, but this seems likely to be a ~5" screen, possibly smaller.
You can read on a device of that size, but would do much better with a larger device in most cases, 8" minimum for flowed text, 10" or 13" if you read many PDFs.
(I've been driving a 13.3" Onyx BOOX for the past 3+ years, and like it a lot. One of its key strengths is its size, though that comes with a price.)

Prefer a FLOSS alternative.
That said: yes, the announcement is embarrassingly poor on any degree of specifics. Even broad outlines would be helpful.
Mind that music and podcasts are both generic capabilities. I'd hope that the LoFone is taking a standards-based, Free Software approach.
