There is a subset of knowledge worker who would buy this off of the landing page presentation alone.

It is me. I am that subset.

$249 is not that much for a toy for a tech worker. As in, if it gives you entertainment for a month, it is something you can afford.

I bet the core audience is not software engineers, but sales, higher-level customer support, and other professionals with relatively expensive time who also need to work with people around.

But I think the makers hope to have some extra sales from the people buying it as a toy, too.
