Earlier quoted context omitted.
No iOS support either. It's also pretty hilarious that the Fitbits don't support Google assistant but only support Amazon alexa.
I had a fitbit versa 3 and it worked with Google Assistant just fine. I don't know why they say it doesn't support Google Assistant.

#22I think the "good looks" part is subjective... reminds me of those Oakley "over the top" sunglasses: https://www.maxim.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/oakley_atob...

#23Playing on your strengths is not a bad deal. If they cull some of these product lines for good, and reinvest in core set of Workspace products, better search & competing GCP with AWS/Azure seriously (good documentation, product support etc), it will go a long way to recover the trust & brand value. You don't want to be seen as the Yahoo! of 2020s. That's a death sentence in slow motion.
As a computer scientist, Alphabet is no longer my first preference to get hired. The lustre of the company has jaded considerably in last 5 years (with the exception of AI ventures)

#26* If you're an athlete, buy a Garmin * If you're in iOS user and want an iPhone on your wrist, get a iWatch * If you like to incinerate cash, buy fireworks... or this watch. The lack of compatible wristbands is enough reason to avoid, let alone the inevitable outcome of you losing access to your investment once Google drops support for bringing a half-baked product to market.
Thanks for your review of a product that isn’t even out yet

#27Funny, the Pixel Watch has been added to the Fitbit web site, where on the comparison table it looks quite inferior to Fitbit offerings and costs $50 more. But wait, it has features like "Google Play Store" and "Gmail" which no one asked for.

#28Google/Alphabet should stick to internet infrastructure based products. It is increasingly becoming evident that they don't have customers confidence nor are they keeping up with the times with such botched launches & cancellations. Playing on your strengths is not a bad deal. If they cull some of these product lines for good, and reinvest in core set of Workspace products, better search & competing GCP with AWS/Azur…
I am curious. Which companies would be your top preferences?

You forgot, if you are smart, read the pros and cons of each and make the decision for yourself. Thanks for your review of a product that isn’t even out yet

Outside of that category, I feel Huggingface is doing some incredible things to bring ML at scale. Then there are a slew of small startups such as Adept, Anthropic and Mosaic which are doing very interesting things too. You is reimagining search with the help of vector search. A few non-profit such as AllenAI are also really competitive. A lot of value prop is being created by small teams at Vercel, Railwayapp etc, which are something to look out for
