On Microsoft details Windows 11 phone controls and texting upgrades ·
The fact windows is working so hard to build closer integration with Android phones goes to tell that Google is on to something! Google will undoubtedly have a much closer and tighter integration, far superior to anything Windows could ever have. This means that over time, Googlebooks will eventually appeal to all Android users, especially those who don't rely heavily on professional editing tools for content creation. Most users primarily use the browser for their work, and those are the potential users that Google knows it can attract and that's more than enough!

On Acer Googlebook is officially coming soon, and here's a first glimpse (Updated) ·
I still believe Google missed a real opportunity by not creating their own high-end premium Pixelbook to kickstart a new era of software and hardware ecosystem integration.

On Pixel 11 Pro Fold FCC listing adds support for a big Tensor G6 shake-up ·
Yeah, Google seems to be making very slow progress. They're already up to the Pixel 11, but they still haven't produced a flagship phone with true flagship specifications. It's really no surprise that the gap remains so large with the competition. They're clearly falling behind, they're aware of it, and they seem perfectly fine with it because they prioritize a software company mindset.

On I waited years for Googlebooks — but I wish I hadn't ·
Hold fire my friend.. I doubt Google would invest so much in a new operating system just to make a slightly better version of ChromeOS. While it will take time, I believe this new unified ecosystem will finally put Google in a strong position to primarily compete with Windows who's customers are mainly Android users.

On Samsung DeX or Pixel's Desktop Mode? Survey reveals a surprising favorite ·
It feels like an insult to Samsung Dex. They've been offering an Android PC experience since around 2017, yet Google seems to be getting all the attention and praise for what is essentially a very basic offering. P.s. I'm a Google fanboy

On I can't wait for Google Messages to get these 3 big new RCS features ·
We need to manage our excitement because we know this rollout will be very, very slow and painful 😭

On Google Photos may finally add a long-awaited video playback feature ·
While the feature is nice, it shouldn't be tucked away. It's a simple, regularly used function that should be prominently displayed, just like other popular social media apps do. Cmon Google don't make things complicated lol

On As an Android fan, I’m seriously tempted by the iPhone 17 series. Are you? ·
Apple is just lucky Google can't seem to make a monster phone to properly compete with the competition

On I continue to use Google Home and its speakers, but I hate everything about it ·
Google is such a frustrating company to be a customer with! They literally need a company like apple to completely bypass them and show them how it's done before Google reacts and starts improving!

On YouTube Music is finally syncing your playback progress across devices ·
Google needs to keep an eye on the competition and just copy those great features otherwise users will always look on with envy and may one day just jump ship and I wouldn't blame them

On Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform ·
This could be a major success for Google. A new Pixelbook launching alongside it would likely generate significant interest. They just have to focus on the complete package rather than half baked launch relying on user feedback for improvements
