Google Product Launch Hot Takes with Jefferson Graham of USA Today and Eric Schwartz of Voicebot - Voicebot Podcast Ep 171

Today I have another extra episode for you to discuss the
announcements from Google's 2020 Fall product launch. We knew in
advance that we would finally see a replacement for the Google
Home which was launched four long years ago. The Nest Audio is
that replacement as the flagship smart speaker for Google. 


 


Other than that, we were expecting a new Pixel smartphone, which
we did see, and a new Chromecast, which also made an appearance.
There wasn't much for the voice industry to sink their teeth into
in terms of advances but I wanted to give you an update on what
we did see and offer the perspectives of a couple of other event
observers. 


 


To maintain consistency, I also asked Jefferson Graham of USA
Today and Eric Schwartz of Voicebot.ai to join me. They were both
on the recent episode focused on the Amazon product launch so we
are getting their hot takes today in contrast to what we saw from
Amazon. Jefferson Graham is the leading consumer tech reporter in
the U.S. and Eric Schwartz is the lead reporter at
Voicebot.
