Google also teased a tablet to be launched in 2023 and a smartwatch that will go on sale late this year, as it unveils a strategy to offer a group of products comparable to rival Apple Inc that could provide rich rewards from Google's ad sales. "This is like having a supercharged Ctrl+F for the world around you," said Prabhakar Raghavan, a Google senior vice president, referring to the keyboard shortcut for finding something in a document. "You can search your whole world, asking questions any way and anywhere."
In other announcements, a relaunched Google Wallet app will support virtually storing drivers licenses in some areas of the United States later this year, mirroring a feature Apple debuted for Arizona on its iPhones in March. But devices could matter more for Google over the long run. Ads displayed on its own devices deliver a higher profit margin because sales do not have to be split with hardware partners such as Apple that help distribute Google services on their gadgets.
Google's previous venture in tablets led to under 500,000 units sold, according to market researcher IDC.
