Google has begun accepting pre-orders for the new Google Home device.  The smart speaker-meets-smart home device is aimed at being the center of the home with Google Assistant being a voice command away.

Aimed at competing with the Amazon Echo, Google Home brings the power of Google Artificial Intelligence to give you detailed information about your day, upcoming events, search information, travel information and the like.   And it is for everyone in the family.  Like Google OnHub and Google Wi-Fi, Home is aimed at sitting out in the open and doesn’t look like a piece of techno-kit sitting on a shelf.

After a long run as the flagship tablet for Google, the Nexus 9 era has come to an end as far as the Mountain View company is concerned.  An update today to the Google Store has removed all references to the Nexus 9 and you can no longer order it directly from them.  That doesn’t mean however that you still can’t get your hands on one through Amazon.  The 9 debuted with Android Lollipop in 2014 and even though it will be upgraded to Android N, Google has shifted their tablet focus for now to the new flagship, the Pixel C.

The Google Store has really stepped up in this final week before Christmas with a great bonus for those who are looking at picking up any hardware from the Google Play Store.  Now through December 22nd, you will get free overnight shipping on any purchase made from the store.  The good thing is, it is on everything in the store.  If you are looking to pick up some USB Type-C cables, cases or a new Nexus 6P or Pixel C, the free shipping applies.  That could save you some big bucks and assure you that you get that gift for that special someone in time for the holidays.

To get the free shipping all you need to do is make a purchase.  The free shipping is automatically applied and rest assured that if you are buying a gift for someone and they want to return it, they are accepted up to January 22, 2016.

But wait, there’s more!
