Pretty nice.

Side note though, do people here actually read the articles here? It’s pretty obvious this would be a part of FMD. iPhone has already been doing this for years

Last time I checked, free software respecting your freedom was about giving you the ability to redistribute it and do what you wanted with it. It wasn’t about guaranteeing compatibility

I really hope this means either a new MTP app is coming (ideal) or quick share for MacOS is officially coming (ok)

It seems to only be specific apps with very specific permissions like call logs or SMS.

It seems like this is only going to be coming in the EU :(

Honestly, I only really want to use the pixel launcher at this point because it feels like several things have broke because of me using a third party launcher. Especially on my pixel tablet with its custom taskbar.

I would personally say that if you want to do work on a tablet, the pixel tablet isn’t good for you. But I own one, and I personally like it. Personally switched from an iPad mini 6th generation. Wish there was more drawing apps and better support them with USI.

It’s not like one of Samsung’s higher end tablets, but it’s also not like one of their cheap budget ones either that barely run the software given to them. It’s pretty much like the pixel phone and falls into the category of “good enough/acceptable”. Yeah there’s definitely better hardware out there, but it’s the software that is what makes it a decent tablet. A higher end model with stuff like a better refresh rate would be nice, but it’s not a requirement for me personally.

It’s a bit gimmicky, but I do like the hub mode of the tablet that’s engaged through the dock. It’s nice that the tablet can do something at all times even when it’s just changing.

My only real complaints about the tablet are the poor keyboard and mouse support (though that’s more of a problem on app developers), the fact the dock doesn’t do much. And I’ve also noticed quite a few problems using other launchers with it (probably because the taskbar is very heavily tied to the pixel launcher).
