I think it's very interesting, a new HW will be created by kaspersky.

What do you think?

I've made a quick google search for these hardware wallets.

Found that the more expensive one has an LCD screen but the cheaper has not, which is not an option for me, I want to be 100% sure that the address I see in the browser matches the hardware wallet's screen.

Something has came into my mind, when I saw this:
"Both devices have an optional yearly subscription to backup your keys in encrypted form off site."
So if it's possible to have a bacup of the private key off site (and it's done via the software) it will be possible to read out the private keys remotely?
Question nr. 2, about this statement:
"The device also allows you to use a mobile phone with NFC and USB."
It's fine that android devices will be able to connect via USB but the apple products don't use USB and apple doesn't easily allow 3rd parties to use the NFC in the apple devices (they try to protect apple pay, and using a hardware wallet can be a form of payment...)
Anyway, we'll see the outcome

This is good, overall, tbh. Kapersky has a following of mainstream consumers that don't even know about crypto. They all are probably signed up to Kapersky's newsletters or some form of routine communications.

If Kapersky launches this hardware wallet, all of their subscribers will suddenly be more aware of crypto. Some may even buy the wallet because they realize it's an alternative way to store money XD

Very interested, how do I get it, is it already in Amazon?
this is cheaper than trezor, i am sure many will buy.

Depends on how they go about it and considering the reputation of Kaspersky then I would think they would be sending an encrypted private key and storing it. Only people with the password will likely be able to access it or they may use a system sort of like PGP.

Let's just hope that this will be optional and off by default. A lot of people purchasing these devices might not know that their key is being backed up automatically and it's always a good idea to have these sort of things off by default when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

Price looks good, but I have sceptical opinion about Kaspersky due to their ties with Russian authorities. Now Kaspersky antivirus was banned in USA and their civilian and military government institutions can't use it anymore. I wouldn't leave my Bitcoins in Kaspersky wallet. I'm not saying that there can be some risks to use that wallet, that's just my personal opinion about Kaspersky overall.

Can i use the higher price on my phone? Looks like its using usb type C and if im not wrong that can be use on phone right?
