Or you know, it's just another premature product from Google, to get news coverage as an "innovative" company by rehashing older stuff in not-marketable forms.
Like self-driving cars, computer-glasses, cloud-only-laptops and the like, all met with minimal success.
What's with this attitude? How can you be innovative without failing 9 times out of 10. That's what innovation entails! If you haven't failed while innovating you either was extremely lucky or you got yourself some divine superpower.
The iPhone wasn't new either - as in not a rehash of old ideas. But it was a new execution. These are all new executions.

Easily, by not making PR announcements before you succeed.
Plus, I don't think is an absolute that it's necessary to fail multiple times to get something innovative. Take for example Xerox Park for research. Or, in the market area, Apple.

Well, there are new executions that are ready to succeed, and new executions that are barely held together with chewing gum and wire. I don't think it's any service to the public to tout the latter to high heavens.
