How is Google's 3D maps better than Apple's 3D maps? Genuine question, as they don't look all that much different.
- Neither have been released yet. Both will be available on iOS too.ernexbcn

"you can make your point come across without sounding like a raging fanboy" - ernexbcn
you seem to be the definition of fanboy; you're skewed mind can't seem to hand any bad news regarding apple. talk about smug.
- ernexbcn0
Which bad news? the nonsense some of you have written?
Skewed mind? you missed the part where I opened this thread and basically praised most of the stuff they announced.

seriously, 3D Maps are cool... for 5min. Its an eye candy that brings nothing concrete.

Keep in mind this Chrome for iOS is pretty much UI functionality, sync service and whatever else Google might have added, but the browser is the same that comes with iOS including the javascript engine per the iOS App Store rules. So this doesn't have the V8 engine or any Google improvements made to webkit and the JS engine.
- interesting stuff. I'd like to know more about these app store rules that affect browser competition. *Searches*Hombre_Lobo
- Yeah, the lack of a TRUE chrome experience (v8, etc.) is lame but will have to do for now...ideaist
- it's propagating now through the stores should be available shortlyernexbcn

That nexus Q thing looks sweet. Also a well supported but cheap/affordable tablet is something that could really take off.
ps - What's with these mythical apple fanboys the android/pc dorks always seems to be complaining about? All I ever seem to read on comments of tech articles are a) how shit Apple are b) how new product x is going to shit on Apple. The pc/android nerds are bloody obsessed with Apple.
- +1 on the fanboy stuff.Nathan_Adams
- All fan boys are tools, but if you haven't seen any apple fan boys you must be living in a cave. There are even some on qbn!Hombre_Lobo

Reminds of an Apple launch for some reason...

Shame they opted for a 7 inch, more of a phablet than a tablet so still can't compete with the iPad.
Glad they've finally admitted and sorted out the atrocious graphics/touch performance on Android. Makes a world of difference.
Google Now is pretty awesome

i like this idea for the nexus q:
"Another use case mentioned was a collaborative playlist, where a bunch of friends hanging out with their Android devices can each contribute songs to the list from their Google Play accounts."- iOS has this too, but a bit different, people in your party can vote tracks from your playlisternexbcn

I'm sorry, but Google are lacking in the taste department; they try to go to "big" with these events (like Microsoft) and come off as engineers who are disconnected from the form of their products...
