Google Wants to Be King of Your Living Room

Google took to the stage on 4 October with a large roster of new hardware. A pair of Pixel Android smartphones were the stars of the show, but you'll note that Google has dropped the Nexus brand and there's no new tablet on offer. Is the tablet market really dying? However, since the world is full of smartphones, of more interest at the event was Google's additional hardware; Google Home, Google WiFi and Chromecast Ultra. Google Home is the company's answer to Amazon Echo with a smart, stylish flexible design that is styled to fit in any living room without looking like a Death Star or technology obelisk.
