No Gemini on the Google TV Streamer begs the question: Why buy ‘Made by Google’?
If Google's own hardware doesn't get its hottest features first, what's the point of buying into it?
Yesterday, during The Android Show, Google announced a bunch of Gemini improvements that are coming to its hardware and software fleet. One of these is the integration of Gemini in Google TV, with Google promising better video recommendations and answers, and… that’s it. Obviously, I expect more from Gemini on the largest screen in my home, like simpler smart home commands without having to remember exact device names or command structures, and proper Gemini Live conversations with visual cues coming straight onto the TV.
Google hasn’t detailed these — maybe it will during I/O later this month? — but it did tell us that Gemini is coming to a TCL Google TV first. There’s no known launch time for Google’s own TV Streamer or other Google Home/Nest devices. As an owner of all of these across my home, I feel more than snuffed by this.
