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

Re: Google Pixel Buds
#32I wonder how much electro magnetic radiation they will emit...there were quite a few scaremongering videos out there about the airpods...or bluetooth headphones in general. The issue is that most people (that I've noticed in the US) just have them in their ears ALL DAY. The earbuds/airbuds/headhphones are connected to cellular phones (and hence transmitting just to stay connected). That CAN'T be good for your ears/br…
Electromagnetic radiation sounds like a scary word, but visible light also falls into that category. Does this mean it's unhealthy to be in a room with light? Should we cover our windows, turn off our lights, and live in the dark to limit our exposure?

#34Off-topic but this website is such a blatant rip-off of the AirPods Pro landing page[1] (EDIT: Discussed at the time [2]), and I _hate_ the UX. I'm not sure what device this is optimised for, but it requires a tonn of scrolling, it's janky, you end up scrolling past the info you want, it breaks basic functionality like Ctrl+F. Why not just make a video instead of a webpage, since that's clearly the effect they're goi…
I 100% agree with the point you're making but at least Apple's landing page is scrolling smoothly on Firefox (76.0b8 (64-bit) on Windows 10) unlike Google's which is "jumpy".

Where do you think WiFi, 4G and satellite TV signals are going 24/7/365?

C. Support products after launch (Still annoyed that they abandoned the Pixel C tablet after an Android update that broke the graphics drivers, leaving GLES games/apps very unstable)

#38I'm using wired, I keep getting pain whenever I use wireless earphones with radiation.
What about the (again, non-ionising) EMF coming from the cords in your wired headphones?
Sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...

Must be a subtle reference to their mobile operating systems.
Re: Google Pixel Buds
#40Is there a reason they announced this a few hours before earnings? They look good, but I don't see it on par with the AirPods that have noise cancellation, sweat and water resistance. And given Google's inability to support their hardware products past a few years, doubt these would take off (but I hope they do).
