what's happened in Bryant song here and welcome to Google issues for everything Google you could think of in yeah you know what it doesn't look like 2008 anymore on here this is the new show the new look and it's a big week for the Google world and this is all about my reactions to most of the stuff Google dropped on us at they're made by Google event now the googs got things started with a montage of the past year wait was that do I think it was hey that's me but why is it playing over the Verge's website and look that's Google Isha's well the old one now okay enough about us and thanks for the love Google but what was the highlight of the entire keynote it had to be the instant translation between two people with the new Google pixel buds so while you're up here what color should I get Midland event has become festival yeah hmm Jethro dance Capua scallop us a day all right your mind wasn't the only one that was below and after that and it was one of their you know magical moments now Google's wireless earbuds are $159 but clearly white and kind of blue are already kind of sold out they include touch gestures and the Google assistant as well truly one of the highlights of the show but why would you even need the pixel buds the biggest reason taking a page from Apple there is no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the new pixel 2 and pixel 2 XL phones but what's even worse than no headphone jack Google is just including a USB seat a 3.5 millimeter headphone adapter that you'll end up losing but there will be no headphones in the box it's BYO H and that's a Boogle all right Google's new phones are solid entries and they emphasize that hardware is getting to the point where it's almost the same across the industry and innovation will come from software like you can squeeze it to prompt the Google assistant and always on screen with the ability to hear songs plane was another cool moment think of it like Shazam on your phone but all the time and what about that camera now DxO mark once again has given the new pixel the best rating ever in a smartphone camera with an overall score of 98 beating the iPhone 8 plus and the Galaxy Note 8 scores of 94 each now even if it's still a single lens it has portrait mode with its dual pixel sensor and optical image stabilization and let's not forget it's unlimited photo storage but no HDR on its screen with a camera that shoots HDR photos in today's competitive market is a Miss the pixel 2 starts at 649 and the 2 XL starts at 8:49 and you can buy them today they obviously don't have the sexiest design on the market like I would never say that but once again it brings the best camera on the market today an innovative software that shines with this phone on pure Android alright now let's talk about my favorite product announcement alongside the pixel but it has to be the Google home max yeah the Mini is cute and it's their $49 answer to the echo dot but the max is just beast it's bigger and badder with two woofers and adjusts to the sound of the room like the home pod you can rest it on its side or stand it up or pair two of them together and it has the power of the assistant like I told you this thing was beast and it comes with a heftier 399 price point but this is just flat-out better than the home pod + Diplo okay stay cool stay cool bride okay now Google drops another surprise on us with the all new pixel book their convertible laptop with the twelve point three inch touchscreen that can really be anything think of it like the Lenovo yoga form factor with the killer feature like instant tethering that pairs with your pixel phone when no Wi-Fi is available come on that's just sick and that design that matches the pixel phone yeah real slick now the Google assistant is here with the press of a button and then they drop the pixel book pen on us circle someone's face or an object and the assistant pulls up information on it plus it has an industry best latency of 10 milliseconds the surface pen is that 21 and the Apple pencil is at 20 now the only thing really holding back this is the Chrome OS and the lack of all these high-end apps to take advantage of this for creatives but starting at $9.99 there's a whole lot of value here as a daily driver and play more people are actually going to consider this and you know what to me that's a win for Google right there now the biggest bomb for the goog had to be the Google Clips camera that took out all the energy and excitement out of the keynote like it's a camera that you can place or clip on things to capture candid moments it's aimed at families and it costs two hundred and forty nine bucks like really dropping to forty nine for that why are you even going to get this this was worth an online post and not a feature spot in the keynote and it was a total bust oh yeah they showed off a new daydream in three colors for $99 that brings improvements in performance but I'm going to spend as much time as they did on it on their keynote okay that was it so what do you think of Google's event we want to hear from you you're looking at this company that is evolving and growing up right before our eyes after their commitment to controlling both the hardware and software Allah Apple they're surprising us with new features that really no one is doing so that's it for this week you can email me at Google is
