Their cost benefit analysis seems short-sighted. Having a chip wouldn't be too expensive as even a Nest Mini has it. Just increase the price by $25 but provide that functionality imo.
Absolutely.
Got mine today and I like it. It's good. That's about it. Just good. Nothing all that impressive or exciting about it.
They probably didn't want to spend more R&D time on making the speaker really useful, I guess. Could've been a real killer app.
Not sure about the tablet otherwise, I've been really happy with my S6 Lite, and it's cheaper too. There's an update with the faster Snapdragon 720G and I'd imagine it's good enough for many users.
I really want this tablet to be successful, I’m an Apple user personally and I feel like Apple has just gotten lazy with the iPad because there’s no serious competition. Would love to see Google become a serious tablet contender.
