With just one week until Google’s I/O developer conference, speculations are high on what the company is planning. It looks like the new Google Pixel Tablet could be an Android-based competitor for the iPad. It appears to have a new dock that props it up in the same way as a Nest product, and the device is being referred to as a ‘living room device’. Furthermore, it is likely to have amazing AI features as Google has been working extensively in the AI space lately.
Google has a long history related to kid-targeted technology, especially its Chromebooks. However, with the Pixel Tablet, Google seems to be focusing more on family use. It is said that the Pixel Tablet will come with a smaller price tag compared to the Apple iPad, while adding more useful software features. It is also expected to come with a keyboard option and the new Fitbit service that previously emerged in a Pixel Watch.
Google is a technology leader and AI has been a growing factor in their products. It was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and has become one of the most valuable companies in the world. Google has a range of products and services including search services, cloud computing, hardware and mobile applications. It is responsible for the development of Android and Chrome OS, two of the most popular operating systems in the world.
Rick Osterloh currently serves as the Senior Vice President of Hardware at Google. He is considered to be a veteran of the tech sector, with nearly 20 years experience in writing and reviewing wearable tech, VR and AR products and apps. Osterloh has been with Google since 2016 and has contributed to the company’s developments in AI, as well as to the launch of the Nest home hub. Known for his strategic and focused approach to product development, Osterloh is likely to have an important say in the Pixel Tablet’s strategy.
