A YouTube Music Android app like the Google Photos Android app on Chromebooks would be pretty sweet

If the Google Photos Android app on Chrome OS is any indication of Android apps future on Chromebooks I would say things are trending in the right direction. The Google Photos app just about mirrors what's available on the web except for some differences here and there. But the Android app of Google Photos offers offline support and you can even upload as well. Unfortunately, the Youtube Music app is a far cry from the Google Photos on capability and fit and finish. There is no uploading support and the only notable feature compared to the Youtube Music web app is the ability to cast on the Android app. In short, the YouTube Music Android app is an Android tablet that is not bad but is not quite ready for Chrome OS.

Google may have something if they can update the Youtube Music Android app to function as the Google Photos. But don't stop there, add this capability, look and feel to all of your first-party apps and set the standard for developers on the platform. Compose for Desktop is coming soon and should help with bringing desktop-like Android apps to the platform. Exciting times for us Chrome OS/Android fans.

Waiting on Google: Why My Next Laptop Won't Be a Mac or PC (The "Googlebook" Era)

The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem.

Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...

The Pixel 11 Lineup Is Here: Unboxing the Pro, Watch 5, and Essential Accessories

In what has turned into an annual tradition, I have picked up the all new Pixell 11 Pro and its siblings featuring the Pixel Watch 5, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2. I also got a couple of accessories with the matching Pixel case and Pixelsnap Ring Stand. Now, I am a creature of habit so I went with the black color way or Obsidian and Hazel respectively. Google did not change much in terms of design outside of the camera bar on the P11P and that is ok with me. I'm glad that Google went with a black bar design this year as it makes the phone look even more premium and flat out gorgeous. That's it for now. I'll get everything unboxed, set up and will share more soon.
