That's a nice 3B$ flop right there, 3.5B$ if you take the dropcam into account.
Why couldn't they just focus on small inexpensive products that sell without thinking? Take chrome cast for example, great product, cheap price, don't really have to debate if I want to buy it.
Hey Google, here is an idea, why don't you make an IoT button that can talk/control other devices like bttn or flic but costs just 5$ (I'm looking at you Amazon dash).
They will sell like hotcakes!
After that you can introduce some other products, maybe under the home brand, like a device that control your AC (it just needs to work, doesn't have to be apple like the Nest) or one that monitors your water heater.
What about a small device that checks for leaks in your pipes.
There is so much stuff todo here.
- petra 10y agoThe chrome cast can bring digital advertising to the TV, and offer Google some control.So they can sell at cost. What does the a button or a flood sensor buy them ?
- TheGuyWhoCodes 10y agoI don't think they get much more in ad revenue because of chrome cast, if I want to watch something I'd watch it on my mobile or PC, casting to the TV is just more comfortable, it's not an enabler to something that wasn't watchable. Moreover chrome cast is used outside of google products like Plex, Netflix, HBO etc. Having a low bar for entry into the home is huge for a company which is all about data and insights.
