I have used many Apple products and non Apple products. You are kidding yourself if you believe they have best user experience. Also, specs do matter. Believe it or not, those specs make the device run smoothly. I am not a “hobbyist” but rather an IT professional. I support Apple, Android, Blackberry and Microsoft products every day. Those Apple products have as many issues as the other brands. Example that I am dealing with today: a user’s iPhone 5 has been draining his mobile data. This is a man that barely even uses his iPhone as a smartphone and basically just uses email and Web browsing. His iPhone has already sucked down over 15gb of his plan this month. Now tell me Apple products are better than the rest. By the way, I have a Windows PC that is older than your Mac and still going g strong too. I even have a cheap Acer laptop from 2007 that has even suffered an entire jar of pickle juice being spilt on it while it was on and I had to let it dry and scrape all of the residue off of the motherboard and to this day it still runs fine. 6 years later and that seriously cheap Acer laptop is hanging in their with your Mac.

They are as much Google devices as the iPhone is an Apple device or the Surface is a Microsoft device. Google just doesn’t mind sharing credit with their partners and allows their names to be on the product. Try buying those devices from any of the partners that built them for Google.

Yea, that dude is not that good looking, and by the way I ain’t gay, I think a hot chick with big teeth and tits would be more pleasing to the eye, but that’s my take on it.

Those aren’t google devices. They are made by Asus and LG, but the Nexus Q, Glass and Pixel seem to be pure Google devices at this point. I welcome their premium hardware.

iCloud is a nightmare. The only Apple software I use is FCP and Logic. As an Android user, I try to make sure everything else i use is cross platform.

You’re delusional! Play with a macbook track pad or look at their retina displays. The quality is just so much better than the competition.

I think you are referring to specs, which have almost nothing to do with user experience at this point. There are a lot of sheep that obsess about spec bumps on sites like this, but when it comes down to top of the line hardware, there is one company that all of the rest are chasing.

It’s good to see Google not playing in the low end anymore.

No, I’m stating the answer to your proposed question of: “What is wrong with turning into Apple?”

What’s wrong with that? Apple is the greediest, least consumer friendly company I have ever seen. I don’t want Google to turn into that. Their “top of the line” hardware is rarely actually top of the line, and costs about 3x as much as ACTUAL top of the line hardware because it has a picture of a partly eaten apple on it.

Do some research into the specs of Apple’s hardware vs. top of the line hardware available when the product was released. you will find in almost every case that their hardware is closer to bottom of the line than top of the line.

Also Google is going to have an event for the Glasses for all the Devs who join in and get them, I’m sure Google is going to give them a kit/ demo to develop applications, they aren’t going to sell these then not have uses for them when they come out for the average consumer. People pay $500 just to attend Google I/O, i wish I could afford to get these and go to the symposium just to here what they say about it

I was surprised that iCloud was a paid service after like 5 GB of backed up data!

I would honestly not pay more than $199 and that’s sort of pushing the envelope. It’s cool and all but it doesn’t actually DO much of anything. It’s like a pebble watch except on your face. $99-$150 would be a nice sweet spot.

I’m done being Google’s beta tester…

I’ll be all over it when the OG Droid version of Glasses comes out.
