(Update: "no mistakes") Wait, was that a Red Robin from Nextbit?

Update, July 8: Nextbit took to Twitter to tease the red Robin. Or at least that’s how we interpret this tweet. Let us know what you think:
“There are no mistakes. Only happy accidents.” – Our design process (sometimes) ? pic.twitter.com/o4cgiWjF8E— Nextbit (@nextbitsys) July 7, 2016
Original post, July 7: The Nextbit team just went live on Periscope earlier today to announce the Web Client Beta. And that’s cool and all, Nextbit, but was that a bright red Robin we just caught a glimpse of lying on a desk?
No official word yet on what this strikingly colored device was, but since the Nextbit Robin hasn’t been out for very long yet, we’re anticipating that it’s likely a new variant of the innovative cloud-based smartphone rather than some new device from Nextbit. Red would be a natural choice for a device named the Robin, after all.
