 yes i looked
 anybody getting google home?
 I'm wondering how useful it will be
 i'm thinking about preordering
 I'm waiting to see what people 3D print for it
 @Ivoriesablaze, I will be, just not pre-ordering it yet

 @ahoneybun, To be honest, the only phone that Google released that would be considered "affordable" was the Nexus 4. The Nexus 5, 6, 5X,6P were about average for the specs
 The "Pixel" branding has always been Google's premium offering, which always had a high pricetag
 still no cheaper line though?
 No, not needed with all of the other options out there. The Nexus line, aside from being a staple of die-hard Android pureists, served one major purpose - to steer the direction of mobile devices.
 I think it is
 It did and I would say it accomplished it
 not all developers have the money to get a Pixel
 and not giving a lower price device limits them
 I disagree on the limits
 all these OEMs are still leaving their devices with no updates
 Developers dont need Nexus devices as long as they stick to standards, the code should run anywhere
 That will always be a problem but is something developers need to know how to address, if anything developers who solely target the latest could leave most of their users in the dust
 Also, with very few exceptions, the version of Android is not as important as it used to be now that Google has offloaded a lot of things into the Google Play Services and Chrome
 well I'm still mad
 also that payment option is just mad
 30% APR?
 the heck is that
 anyone with 16.10 yet?
 Actually it is 0% APR for the Pixel Phones if paid off in 24 months with the option for them to bump it up to 30% APR if not paid off in that time or if you start missing payments
 No, have not upgraded yet
 for the Pixel C it is 30% out the door
 The Pixel C is 10 months 0% APR as far as I can tell
 not for me
 says 30%
 It says that but the APR is technically 29.99% that is waved for 6, 12 or 24 months depending on the amount of the purchase
 then they need to fix how they say it then
 Of course that is on approved credit - in some cases it may be best to put it on a low interest credit card if you have one
 I have a no interest one for a few more months but that is just crazy
 One thing that I am not thrilled about the Pixel phones is that I feel Google played it safe. The design of the phone is boring. I sort of wanted to see something that makes me say "wow"
 They are
 This is tempting
 I would not touch the Nextbit
 Why?
 It relies on their proprietary cloud, if it ever goes down or if the company folds, many of the phones features are useless
 I would not touch them really
 Not to mention, the build quality is one of the worst that have been released in the past few years (cheap plastic)
 The Moto G Plus is a better option
 I like the look though
 The look is only a small factor - just look what happened to the Kin and Palm Pre when their backend services were shuttered
 NextBit has not released a new plone in quite a while and their sales have been lackluster at best
 I honestly dont think they will be around long
 Way to crush a dream
 Or to stop you from making a mistake :)
 well not like I can buy it at the current moment anyway
 The LG V10 is also an option, the price is falling and it is still slated to get Android N within the next few months
 I can't afford to pay up front
 XD
 So, you are not in urgent need of a phone right now, best to hold off for a bit.
 well unless the OPO dies for some reason
 just gets boring after a while
 I canceled my pixel order.
 It's just not worth it.
 oh wow
 Still up in the air about it - like I said yesterday - There is nothing that really stands out as a reason to upgrade from the 6P
 Snapdragon 621 choose.
 Chipset
 The 621 is impressive - but again, not a big enough jump from the 620
 For me to justify the cost
 But you don't have any 621 devices, now do you?
 Not at the moment
 Maybe it makes bread on the 21st of November.
 Maybe it picks up your mail once a year.
 But you won't know. And that's the chance you're taking.
 Point taken, may wait for the r2 of the 621
 The device is just so expensive.
 I was honestly hoping for a Tegra X1 in the pixel - that chip is a beast but as far as I know, the SoC does not have an integrated LTE radio

 any reason why a movie won't play even if I download it local?
 Google Play Movies
 @KMyers
 Not that I know of
 weird
 I bought it so I could have something to watch
 if the power goes out
