    I like how Google announced killing Plus because of a potential security breach of PII 6 months ago so that it can be buried under Made by Google news. Genius move.

    Back on topic, this Google Home Hub @ $149 USD is a great deal. Not sure how big of a market is out there when everyone just uses their tablet to do the same thing when needed.

    They could have flown all 7 users to New York for the event!

    I like the display a lot. Nicer than the current offerings from other brands and no camera. Would be a great home control device for all my smart home items and that price isn't bad at all.

    If it can run my web-browser based H.A. control page it would be super useful. I use a tablet mounted to a wall but I could definitely use some more. Kind of hard to have a heavy enough tablet mount near a plug.

    This has got to be the most boring event I have ever watched haha - not a single thing that hasn't been leaked already. The Pixel 3 I think is the most leaked phone in history, with hands-on reviews appearing before the keynote.

    I can't order it yet - rumor was it would be available on day 1 but maybe that is just for the USA.

    This sounds spooky:

    "Pixel phones can now screen calls for you. Phone will answer for you and ask who is calling and why. Transcription appears in real time on your screen. That is super cool."

    Assuming current exchange rates it looks like prices went up as expected.

    Pretty sure it's not a touch screen, hence the low price. Fully voice activated. Doubt it can do what you need.

    Now we save $36 comapred to last year, thanks google. Free pixel stand with purchase ($109 must include charger and cable but doesnt really say), $1129 for 128gb P3 or 64 gb P3XL.
    New home isn't listed for canada though and the new chromecast isn't showing up either (It is dumb though, just a refresh and still 1080p).

    I ordered a 64gb P3 in black with fabric case of course. What I don't get it how it leaked 1000 times seemingly with phones everywhere and yet it won't arrive until Nov 8?

    They didn't talk much about portrait mode did they? Seemed to skip over that - wonder if there's any improvement on that front at all.

    Especially Engadget was able to buy one in the streets of HK.

    So to summarize:

    Home Hub - Google's take on their own Smart Display tech. Wonder if all the tech will come to Smart Displays as well, I have my eyes on the Lenovo one a few weeks back.

    Pixel Slate - Surface Go competitor but $200 more.

    Pixel 3 - A bunch of new software but otherwise a very typical 2018 flagship.

    The slate to me is the most puzzling. Goes all the way up to i7 16gb 256gb for $2k w/o keyboard and pen. Not sure why those specs are needed to run chrome os.

    New cameras, a third camera, tracking AF even in video, new visual core, new security core, new screens, new speakers etc. Quite a bit of hardware changed compared to last year, just nothing we didn't know already haha.

    Rumors are you will be able to dual boot Windows 10.

    Probably depends on how well it's selling, that's what happened last year with the free speaker.

    Worked just fine for me.

    Ordered a 3 XL 128GB, free stand (discount in cart), $75 google credit (free), and priority shipping.

    If I can't get used to the notch I will just return it and get the 3.

    I just tried with Pixel 3 and it's giving me "The requested URL was not found on this server. That's all we know."

    EDIT: Just tried again and it worked.

    I followed a link from my email - maybe try the same if you have one from them.
