A product that either moves the needle as far as revenue and/or makes the ecosystem better. It also needs to be a product that gets continuously better as long as there is a market for it and not abandoned quickly.
- “a connected TV device”. How many cancelled lines of products have they abandoned?
How many market failures have they had in their own line of phones? The Pixel’s aren’t taking the world by storm and they spent billions on Motorola and then sold it off for scraps
They have been releasing a cancelling their own tablet initiatives for years.
At one point they had 5 separate messaging initiatives going on simultaneously.
Even today they have three operating system initiatives that are not on the same codebase - Fuscia, Android and ChromeOS.
They have basically abandoned Flutter and don’t use it for any of their high profile apps.
What have they actually done besides ads?
And the obvious evidence is their money losing “other bets”
