Hardware’s long been a struggle for Google. Sure, the company has dominated many fields over the years, but it’s hard to shake the sense that it’s always harbored jealousy over what companies like Apple and Samsung have achieved on that front. After some early struggles (and a sizable shakeup), Google’s hardware division started gaining some […]
