Meta unveiled Muse Charm at Connect, a palm-sized handheld built around its Muse AI agent that CEO Mark Zuckerberg said will go on sale “in time for the holidays in December,” according to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg. The Charm puts an animated Muse character on a 2-inch OLED touch display and uses front and rear cameras so the agent can see what’s around it, while its own 5G modem lets it reach Muse without Wi-Fi or a phone nearby. Charms can also detect one another and interact when two owners are close together. Meta hasn’t announced a price, but people familiar with the plans expect it to be priced like a smartwatch, and Meta still hasn’t settled what carriers will charge for the 5G connection.
