ProBeat: Hey Google, was Daydream just a dream?

Google’s annual October hardware event was odd for several reasons this year, presumably because so much news leaked out early and the company clearly reshuffled the whole presentation. The devices that were announced came out all at once, and other news was left for after the keynote. But there was also plenty that wasn’t announced, including refreshed Pixel Buds, Google Wi-Fi, Google Clips, and so on. For me, the biggest hole was Daydream.

Daydream is Google’s virtual reality platform built into Android. And like the word “Android”, it wasn’t mentioned at this year’s event. (Even the fact that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are Daydream-ready wasn’t confirmed until after the keynote.)
