G+_Marion Hubbard Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I read your interesting article, though I disagree with you on the 9. I love everything about mine especially the form factor. But I do agree with everything else, especially my history with Google TV. Sometimes it almost seems like they throw something out just to see if it sticks to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Simpkins Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Marion Hubbard Thanks for the read. The 9 I had may have been from bad batch. On the bottom right corner, I could literally separate the housing with min effort, found by accident. I was really in G's corner with the 9, cheering for the best. Wow! Forgot about GTV and over the years I've had three iterations of. Lol, like the see if it sticks on the wall line. Interesting to see others sharing / feeling same regarding.

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Remember, Google is not a hardware vendor. They've only released several hardware products: the CR-48 (OG Chromebook, invite only), the Pixel (the best Chromebook), the Nexus Q (which ultimately became the Chromecast), the Chromecast, the Nexus Player and Google Glass. For all other projects, they only provided guidance on how the hardware should look and what features it should have, and they provided the software. Even Google TV was never made directly by Google. They were all made by OEMs. Additionally, how can you call Google Glass a failure? It was an experiment. As a matter of fact, they moved the project out of X Labs and into its own project at Google. Also, they never provided a consumer version release date, nor were we guaranteed that this would be the official hardware. I think they learned a lot from this "project" and we will see what they learned in future products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Simpkins Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Joseph Cappellino Thanks for the read. you gotta believe google's aspirations with Glass were well beyond experimental and that they hoped it'd catch and take market by storm.

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Michael Simpkins but they also knew there was going to be a social stigma and kept it priced at a point that only people interested in the technology would get it.
