I agree; I think it will be successful.
> it doesn’t look enjoyable or practical to use
You can say that about any phone (an iPhone, flagship Samsung, etc) that is not in a case. I bet it will be enjoyable and practical once they put it in a case.
He's talking about the software so your comments about cases and tables feel unrelated. If you just mean to say it's still a prototype, it could've been phrased better.
When you said "I agree" then followed up with a statement opposite to what he said, that also felt like a non-sequitur.
