News

Google quietly Google has launched an updated mobile web version of the Play store, giving users the ability to use the web versus a native app. You can have a peek at https://play.google.com/store.
Why we should care: With the integration of Chrome in the launcher, this may be a way Google plans to better integrate Play content and hardware discovery and acquisition without the need of a dedicated app (and may also drive the underlying app itself).

Microsoft released its Surface Pro 3 last week, further refining the power tablet offering and receiving mostly positive reviews for pretty much everything except the keyboard.
Why we should care: Microsoft's Surface product line continues to grow, and is generating around $1B/quarter in revenue in a market where tablet rev/sales are plateauing (and in some cases declining). The Surface Pro 3 is closer to a Windows laptop replacement than Android or iOS tablets, and adoption bears watching.

Notes

Samsung is going down-scale to compete with the Moto E.
Google might be releasing Tango tablet prototypes at I/O. This is a rumor, and only a rumor, but it's from the WSJ.
1Password is coming out of Beta to Android next month, making it a fully x-platform password play.
Google updates Plus on Android, sports a new (and familiar looking) UI and "Auto Awesome Stories" feature, to name a few.

Feedback

Rob

No new feedback trends, top issues are stable: Updated Weekly Sample Feedback.

Roland will cover user feedback next week since Rob will be on a UX research trip for FFOS.

Marketing

Partner review

No notes - in-meeting updates from Mark and Deb

Roundtable

Proposal: go/no-go discussion on features at the product meeting (or a separate meeting?) the first week after uplift.
- Format? Quick feature tour → Health report → Q&A → Decision
Update on work being done on proxy server for mobile (aka Gonzales)
