... just as for the Pixel Tablet.
David PierceHOST
15:36
You know what I mean? Like, Pixel Tablet got everything right.
David PierceHOST
15:39
Um, we also missed one detail that a couple of people pointed out that I think is a very big deal, which is that the new, uh, Apple TV remote, which is easier to find, um, is backwards compatible, like, a long way back in Apple TVs.
David PierceHOST
15:52
So screw the new Apple TV.
Dean DaleyGUEST
14:31
It's like you ...
Dean DaleyGUEST
14:33
It's kind of like a square phone screen, right? So it's, it's, it's definitely smaller than you would ass- assume, especially, um, when you compare it to, like, the Echo one or a Pixel Tablet, which has a huge screen.
Jon LamontHOST

Dean DaleyGUEST

You might wanna use it that way.
Dean DaleyGUEST
26:21
But I think the perfect device for me would've been, like, the Home View, but an iPad.
Dean DaleyGUEST
26:26
You know? Like, like, the Pixel Tablet-
Jon LamontHOST
26:28
Yes
Max BondanoHOST
24:14
Um, I think, I think something like that, like an iPad Mini- -esque device that you could, like, attach to a speaker base like that.
Max BondanoHOST
24:21
We've seen Google try that before with the Pixel Tablet.
Max BondanoHOST
24:23
Um, I really enjoyed that thing.
Max BondanoHOST
24:25
I thought it was really unique in its, its functionality.
Will SattelbergHOST
8:34
I did not like the Fold.
Will SattelbergHOST
8:35
I did not like the Pixel Tablet.
Will SattelbergHOST
8:37
And, uh, it was only a few months later that the 8 series came out, and I, I really liked both of those phones and still think they're both excellent.
Will SattelbergHOST
8:45
And, you know, uh, the, the bay, um, Pixel 8 Pro with the-

Um, what, what would you say is something you got wrong about Pixel at some point? Whether it was a, a prediction or, or an expectation.
Will SattelbergHOST
33:59
May- maybe you thought something would fail and it succeeded, but what was, uh, what was something you got wrong about Pixel? And we'll start with Ben.
Ben SchoonGUEST
34:07
Uh, when the Pixel Tablet launched, I was reasonably optimistic that Google had come up with, like, a good different take on a tablet.
Will SattelbergHOST
34:20
I think they had.
David PierceHOST
14:50
... and I'm okay with that.
David PierceHOST
14:51
Uh, and listen, the Pixel Tablet had a chance to be that thing if Google had contin- Google can't care about Android tablets.
David PierceHOST
14:57
Like, Google is onto Google Books because it's no longer-
Nilay PatelHOST

[laughs]
Will SattelbergHOST
23:27
Y- yeah
Damien WildeHOST
23:27
... nothing, which, which come up on my, come up on my feed on my, on my Pixel tablet every day, and I'm like, "Damn, that's a, that's from 2019." And I'm-
Will SattelbergHOST
23:34
This, this is-
Damien WildeHOST
23:35
... still wowed by it

Will SattelbergHOST
51:38
I mean, we have other...
Will SattelbergHOST
51:39
I didn't do, I didn't do watches or, or...
Will SattelbergHOST
51:41
Like, I would, I would put the Pixel Tablet in F too.
Will SattelbergHOST
51:43
But, um-
Jen TuohyGUEST
26:50
Um, the c- the Fire tablets always have been, but it's...
Jen TuohyGUEST
26:54
You know, I, I, I have the Pixel tablet up here, um, and I tried to sort of use that as a primary device 'cause it has great smart home interface and controls.
David PierceHOST
27:03
Mm.
Jen TuohyGUEST
27:03
And I just never had a use for it, uh-
David PierceHOST
31:30
Yeah.
Jen TuohyGUEST
31:30

David PierceHOST
31:30
