Wasn't the idea behind create Alphabet that Google would focus on Search-related stuff, while the parent company could create all these wild IoT products?

- and0 9y agoThat idea makes sense, but the Google brand / ecosystem is probably too important not to leverage.
- dragonwriter 9y agoNo, it was that Google would focus on the established businesses that weren't rolled out into other parts of Alphabet. The G Suite (formerly Google Apps) enterprise offering, which this is part of, was part of the core business retained in Google. This is not a wild IoT product, it's a competitive entry in the enterprise collaboration space that G Suite targets.
