“We aren’t in your region yet” - OK, I’ll go back to my AirPods then.

For people that cannot access the website: I guess this is what the link points to https://www.tomsguide.com/news/pixel-buds-2

It is pretty annoying that I get redirected away from the site because they don't have them in Denmark.

What's up with google and their inability to:

A. Launch products, both software and hardware, worldwide (or at least majority of countries).

B. Launch products with clear dates and not just "Join a waiting list". At least in German store that's the only option.

Yeah, I really don't get why they don't just release them everywhere. The same for all their products btw. In the Netherlands they still sell the old Google Wifi (1st gen), which is apparently their main product as it is the first thing you see when you go to the store site here.

The connecting cord is my favorite part of my Pixel Buds (1).

In Sweden there's not even that. I just get redirected to a list of other products.

Apologies, I didn't realize this would be an issue :( Yes, this was the announcement; thanks for including the link!

"Get real-time translations right in your ear". This immediately made me think of the babelfish from Hitchhiker's Guide. Looking forward to reading some reviews of these.
