Google releases Home Hub, its smart speaker with a tablet interface
If you're excited to even more deeply ingrain a company that didn't disclose a massive data breach into your life, boy have we got a new product for you! At Google's hardware event on Tuesday, Rick Osterloh, Google's SVP of hardware, unveiled the company's new smart home offering: the Google Home Hub. With deeper integration with smart home products, all sorts of A.I. optimizations, and a nifty, visually pleasing display and design, the Hub expands the capabilities of Google Home in a way that seems to just make sense. If the Home Hub works as advertised, paired with Google's superior A.I., it could be the truly integrated home assistant that the advent of smart home innovations seemed to promise, but which has remained practically elusive. "For life at home, we designed a smart display so you can hear and see the info you need, and manage your connected home from a single screen," Osterloh said.
