INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Well, this has sure been an interesting week, hasn't it?Now, hang on: I'm not talking about that other news going on in the good ol' U.S
That's a different column for a different publication
No — here in the land o' Android, the high-stakes debate revolves around the Pixel 4 and whether Google's latest flagship phone is a
device worth buying.And you know what? The more you think about that question, the more you realize just how prickly of a situation Google's
currently facing as it works to turn its phone from niche-level, enthusiast darling into mainstream success.I often find historical
parallels to be a useful tool for making sense of present-day situations
And while "historical" may be a relative term when it comes to mobile technology, it suddenly dawned on me that the story we're seeing play
out with the Pixel 4 right now has an awful lot in common with a major milestone in Google's past.
