Inside Googlebook with Dieter Bohn
"Inside Googlebook with Dieter Bohn" went up on Google's official Android channel on Saturday, a behind-the-scenes look at the company's new kind of laptop. The description promises a tour from hardware specs down to the operating system's architecture, with stops at features like Magic Pointer and the way a phone and a laptop hand work back and forth. Bohn, who spent years as a reviewer and editor at The Verge before joining Google, is a natural guide for that kind of explanation. The tags list Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo models, with Qualcomm Snapdragon chips inside.
It was only a couple of hours old at the end of the week. The video doing the Googlebook talking so far is "The Ultimate Tag Team: Android and Googlebook," a short ad from September 28 that pitches passing from phone to laptop without dropping the ball. Its comment section reads like a feature request line: missing support for Chrome profiles, pleas for Windows games, and a thread worrying that buyers won't realize how much RAM they are getting. One viewer jokes that this is how Google became a laptop maker.
The real traffic, though, still belongs to the September Android Drop recap, which as we reported here jumped sharply at month's end. It has kept going and is now past three million views, pulling the whole channel to roughly six times its usual daily pace. Two smaller Drop clips, on remembering where you left your passport in Find Hub and on shared notes in Google Messages, trail along behind it.
Among the tech company and software channels around its size, Android gained more views this week than any of them, with Low Level and Nate Herk also running well above their usual level and Windows holding steady.
