I rattled off a bunch of thoughts about Google buying Fitbit. It really could turn into a Nest-sized fiasco if Google isn’t careful, but Osterloh did a good job with HTC. Still: it’s always a bummer when an independent hardware company goes away https://t.co/ZJFYLFHPWH — PolitiTweet.org

However here is a shot I took from where I was staying in Aug 2011 on my first trip to New York to meet all my new coworkers. Even though it’s no fancy night sight whatever, it is still Good. https://t.co/MLoTUoxRAr — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 8 years to my favorite website The Verge hey I work there! All my photos from Fall 2011 are from a Nexus S and they are not great! But here is the first custom verge wallpaper I can find in my archive: https://t.co/L0qtseXmqA — PolitiTweet.org

RIP platform-agnostic independent hardware makers. You had a good run. (Sonos tho, still around. Chilling in Santa Barbara. IPO’d though so only a matter of time I guess. :( ) — PolitiTweet.org

Throw back to January 2013, when we had a hands-on with the original Pebble from Kickstater, now owned by Fitbit, now owned by Google. Wild ride — and that original 2013 Pebble had features still unmatched today: community, openness, all day battery life. https://t.co/cNNtIhMBft — PolitiTweet.org

….and Fitbit’s platform will need to be supported for 3? at least 3 years preferably much more alongside Wear OS. There’s also Google Fit. Basically this integration is going to take forever and there is a good chance it’ll be messy and involve a long Nest-esque falllow period — PolitiTweet.org

I stand by everything I wrote earlier this week when the Fitbit acquisition was just a rumor. Think of this like the HTC acquisition: it will make Google slightly better at making wearable hardware. But Fitbit doesn’t make processors. https://t.co/06Vxv6VSU8 — PolitiTweet.org

Also that Fossil acquisition? Not the hardware division -- went to the Android side. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Fitbit is going to be part of Google's hardware division, this is about Google getting smarter at making wearable hardware -- Wear OS is almost tangential to this deal from what I can tell. https://t.co/Fzl5OU2Sa3 — PolitiTweet.org

Now that AirPods do noise cancelling more people are using them on planes and my feature request to add a headphone jack to the battery case so you can use it as an adapter for the seatback entertainment (without dealing with an extra dongle) is about to go viral AMA. — PolitiTweet.org
