I basically forgot that Google made Android. Are they really making major contributions? Seems like Mobile OS are basically stagnant.
It gets less and less stable with every major upgrade, if that counts. Achieving that takes effort.

It took off for Sony and Ericsson.
What took off? (Sony) Ericsson used UIQ, a pen-based OS built on top of the core of Symbian foundation. Nokia developed Series60, a key-based OS built on top of a Symbian core. They were not compatible operating systems, and most of all Ericsson didn't license it from Nokia.

> The market is big enough for Google to create hardware AND other companies to create hardware. You obviously didn't read the comment you're replying to. No one is challenging that. Having the same TEAM in charge of the OS and in-house hardware is an entirely different story. It's a conflict of interest because the person Samsung is talking to to have a feature implemented into the OS baseline may be the same person…
>It's a conflict of interest because the person Samsung is talking to to have a feature implemented into the OS baseline may be the same person in charge of defining the competitive featureset for the next Google hardware. The person can run two threads in their brain, one that deals with Samsung and one that deals with the internal product. > Now this person knows that the product he and his team is designing will c…
How much would you bet to win against me in a card-game if you have to show me all your cards and I show you none?
Rest assured, I will maintain the task to beat you in another container than all the details I need to beat you.
> So? You're talking about the person, which is just the host hardware. There can be multiple threads running on that hardware at the same time in containers.
...what?
> Under Rick Osterloh, a new platforms and devices team will be dedicated to bringing AI to your phone, your TV, and everything else that runs Android. Who is asking for this? Why can't they just make their search engine work again?
> Who is asking for this? Anyone who regularly uses Siri or "Hey, Google".
I recently got a new Pixel phone and Google's much hyped new AI features just seem so... gimmicky. One of the setup examples shows how you can circle a tent on the left side of a picture and move it more to the center. Neat, I guess? It's kind of a fun toy but I'm not sure what problem this is actually solving. I'm sure there are some usecases for this out there, but it's not a capability I have ever found myself wis…
Another one: I can't tell my phone to change it's name to what I want. Basic "AI" fail.
I can see AI in enterprise/business being extremely useful in different industries, but at the same time, is the current 'AI' actually good/useful for the end-user consumer?

Maybe you are mixing up your Sony Ericsson phones? There were loads of key based S60 phones too from them, not just UIQ.

If this article was written 4 years ago the title would have been, "Google is combining …, and it's all about Blockchain"
Blockchain is so 2023 for Google. Speaking of blockchain, what happened to the crypto accelerator Google launched in 2023?
