I'm sure you'd agree that there is a clear excitement gap with their Watch / WearOS and the recent Apple Watch Ultra release.
I assume people are just done with Google branded hardware. It felt like a premium maker in the early Nexus days, but Stadia felt like the last gasp.
This device costs more than Samsung's and Apple's related products, and relies on older internals (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/the-pixel-watch-is-official-with-an-eye-popping-349-399-price-tag/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/the-pixel-watch-is-o...).
How did they review that, look at the number, and justify that internally without some weird politics and a purposeful head-in-the-sand attitude?
- PopePompus 4y agoGiven Google's severe corporate ADHD, who's willing to bet that Google will still be making watches or tablets in 5 years? Why would any third party develop apps for these platforms, given Google's record?

Also specs haven't mattered for a long time now. The only thing that android needs to improve in performance is Web browser JS performance, because its a joke compared to IOS.
