Two years after the release of the Google Home Mini, we finally get its next iteration in the form of the Nest Mini. The small, entry-level smart speaker is $10 cheaper than the original at $69. And while it shares a lot of similarities with the original, there are some changes integrated into the Nest Mini that might entice first-time smart speaker buyers to check it out.

Google had a few Stadia-related announcements this week. And the latest update we're getting is over what devices now support the game streaming service. An updated support page for the service reveals both the Pixel 2 and the upcoming Pixel 4 will support the service alongside the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a.
Google initially said the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a would be the devices that would support Stadia initially. Canada is one of the 14 countries that are getting access to the service. Stadia is also expected to get support for other Android devices post-launch.

There are two things we knew about Disney's upcoming streaming service: it'll be launching on November 12, and the media giant wants to bring its online content back to a weekly release schedule. A new report from fan site What's On Disney Plus got their hands on the release schedule for the upcoming Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. The story follows a lone Mandalorian gunfighter/bounty hunter played by Pedro Pascal.
The first episode is expected to drop during the service's launch day, November 12, while episode 2 is scheduled to arrive on November 15. Afterwards, the remaining six episodes will be released on a weekly installment: November 22, November 29, December 6, December 13, December 18, and December 27. Disney has yet to respond to this leaked schedule.
Friday, October 18, 2019 at 7:12PM One of the new products unveiled at Google's recent event is the second-generation Pixel Buds. This time, it can genuinely be called a wireless set that promises hands-free access to Google Assistant. It's set to land in the Spring of 2020 for US$179 (around CA$235). But we have no confirmation yet if these earbuds will make their way here.
The Pixel Buds join a continually growing market with the likes of the Apple AirPods 2, Microsoft Surface Earbuds, and Amazon Echo Buds, to name a few. But what Google hopes to offer with the Pixel Buds 2 is better integration with Google Assistant.
