Google eventually adds UWB support to its rebranded Find Hub tracker app
This was a feature that I noticed was missing from Google's tracking app when I wanted to buy Android tags. I was very close to buying the Motorola Moto tags but then went with the Samsung tags instead which offered UWB as well as separation alerts (does Google's offering provide that yet?).
It's pretty sad that Google lags so behind, and even it's 3rd party providers are already providing the features and waiting for Google to catch up. The name changes are also diluting a lot of brand awareness. I have completely lost count of the number of name changes for the various messenger apps over the years.
Google also announced this week that the web version of Google Keep was finally getting text formatting. This is about a year behind the mobile app version, and many years behind all of its rivals.
Maybe I just remember the early years of Google, when everything seemed to be more innovative and pushing the boundaries. It's almost as if Google has become more like Apple (except that Apple's tags already had UWB and separation alerts, and their Notes has had text formatting from the very start).
