According to the following post (Bluetooth Speaker - #8 by mattdomko) by @mattdomko, I simply conclude that there is still some movement in the Rabbit development team or that things could from now on move forward better and that they are perhaps still experimenting here and there because, as you have already written, this is a completely new type of device. I don’t think that anything is dead, I just think that it will take a relatively long time until it is more or less as @jesse has presented it. On the other hand, when you think about the enormous potential that lies in this small, beautiful, orange-glowing companion, I also have a theory that would explain the whole thing that many people here in the community are annoyed about. The only problem is that if this is really the case, then no one from Rabbit will ever be allowed to talk about it. What I mean is, for example, an NSL (National Security Letter) that could say something like: “We believe that your product could endanger national security for X reasons… bla bla bla… for example, because in the worst case scenario it could hack the planet… bla bla bla… and if you tell anyone about it, you’ll go to jail for 1000 years or we’ll shoot you immediately…” (National Security Letters: FAQ | Electronic Frontier Foundation). I mean, this fear is not even that far-fetched, because this concern is ultimately the reason that Jesse mentioned for why teach mode does not yet exist and why it should only contain services that are on a white list. But, as I said, that is just a fear of mine and even if it is, we will never be able to find out the truth anyway, because, as I said, no one who receives NSL is allowed to talk about it. But something like that could also explain very well why certain things that r1 should actually be able to do, perhaps even can’t never exist for such reasons. You may hardly believe it but more NSL are sent than you could possibly imagine. 
So, as they would say in Germany: “Wait and drink tea…” (“Abwarten und Tee trinken…”)… 
I mean, in times like these you see it every day in the international news, but that’s basically how it’s always been: the people who rule over us, just like the people they’re fighting this people, would walk over dead bodies if they could get into a situation where they could lose their power, and that’s why they’d rather prevent progress and everything good that could move humanity forward for exactly this reason. But back to the situation, I don’t think it has to be like that in the case of Rabbit, but only that it could be like that in the worst case scenario.
