I Didn't See This Coming

from Amazon. Not that it's earth shattering or anything, but pretty cool. Kind of surprising they're pushing it out so soon after their first phone. The phone has been kind of a flop financially thus far.

They have come out and admited that their phone was a flop. It had the price tag of a flashship phone with specs of a midrange phone. That and the fact that the Google Play store isn't on there is a big negative for many. I think it's priced right now, but they should of been charging the same price as the Nexus phone.

It's sort of a comboi of siri + and a Sonos speaker.

yep, it looks like a bit of an upgrade over the siri...I mean with more functions. It is amazing how they can miniaturize these speakers and you still get a decent sound...a 2.5 inch woofer!! Bigger is not necessarily better anymore.

Yeah I'm thinking that too, even though we already have Sonos speakers. I'm going to look into it at least.
