I definitely read an article somewhere where it says that they provide USB power for the tablet/phone.

EDIT: I think that a better criticism is that this thing is just a prototype, still almost two years away from mass production, assuming everything goes right for them. Like, they could have any number of things go wrong (the Trump tariff situation, for one...hard to have any idea where things will be). It could be that they crash into problems trying to get mass production going. It could be that they can't hit their target price point.
