It's good that they're updating for for it to work better on pixel watch. I'm still not getting either cause of the terrible upsell of Fitbit premium on their flagship watch. The insult of letting you have all the functions but for a limited time is just anathema on your flagship product. This...

All you said is correct and tottally irrelevant as to how this is going to play out. Whether right or wrong this will be veiwed as the David being Crushed by Goliath. In so doing it's the perfect opportunity for eager politicians to crack open messaging on the iPhone. You can scream "It's not...

The only reason RCS is in all this isn't what Google has been pushing. No it's cause this was a concession on Apple's part not to be torn a new one by the EU again. It's become obvious to much of the world that Apple only changes when they're forced to. Otherwise there would be no USB C ever on...

Just that we have this functionality is good. Yes it's in "BETA" by definition it's not done yet. What I want now is the hanging clips like what Belkin has for this iPhone feature. Then I can set this up and not have to use my potato of laptop webcam.

The 7a is one of the better phones for it's performance to cost ratio. The bang for the Buck is hard to argue. Then you take off another 125 and it becomes very tempting. Myself I have the Pixel 7 so I'm good. Anyone though that needs a new phone would be foolish not to check out this deal.

So just to understand, the glucose monitor complication ties into a monitor you have on your person. Or was this a function of the PW2? If I've followed properly it would be from a device connecting to the PW2. Sounds like all in all you enjoyed testing both of these smart watches.

The hard up sell of fitbit premium on last years pixel watch kept me away last year. Doing this again is just plain offensive on a Flagship product. As much as i'd like a PW2, i'll stay with my Apple Watch 7 LTE and get all my info without have to be gouged for more.

This is Google so don't get your hopes up. They'll say for security reasons they didn't put it on their new premium watch. Meanwhile they don't have a problem gimping their current watch for an upsell of "Premium" features that should be standard on the watch.

Authy really ate their lunch. Let's hope they can bring some new value to it at I/O.

As much as I wanted this phone I had to jump carriers yesterday. Google lost my business with is numb skull move to October. I was willing to cut them plenty of slack cause of everything going on. Now though the excuses are getting very thin. I'll come back to Google sometime. That time though...

I've been with Google for many a year. All the way back to the HTC EVO. Had my Nexuses from the Gnex to the 5X. They all had some issues but quick updates and fixed made it tolerable. I was looking forward to the Pixel then they got stupid and priced it at points the hardware nor the software...

Here in the US they gimp the phone to not have NFC. Nokia 6.1 though does have NFC and it runs soo smooth. Just got it yesterday, haven't ever gotten this great of battery life on any android. That and clean simple oreo with 2 updates already I'm sold.

It's good to see a more even hand here at MN. I've been a big fan here of this. One of the other sites I'd go to was twit. I say was because it has of late thought it better to take cheap shots instead of a more reasoned approach. I'm perfectly aware that everyone has their own biases. When that...

And I don't. It would be nice to get some back but I'm holding on to it till the end. I do see how people who would be affected by this. I'm more angry about being played a fool by them. I know directions change and not everything is set in stone. That said to be part of the beta and see all...

Well that's your problem not mine. I'll be big here and say that official pronouncements never came from Google. What I am saying is the way they have treated an enthusiastic community of users is not going to help them. Instead of the previous lines users highly recommending this. You have...
