Most of what they announced is not available and the stuff that is (I have access to all the preview features) have been very disappointing. Seems very rushed. Actually doesn't seem any better than Duet. Looks like they just replaced the underlying model for the time being. It just feels like Google is playing catchup from so far behind...
