Roku makes TV, as well as Amazon.

All 3 make streaming devices (Stick, set-top box, etc).

I think you are confusing Android Auto (projection) to Android Automotive OS, which is the infotainment OS of future Porsches.

It doesn't mean it won't be compatible with CarPlay. New Renault cars are using Android Automotive OS and still have wireless Android Auto and CarPlay.

Also Cariad is using Android Automotive OS now (AOSP version), just without Google Automotive Services (Play Store, Google Maps, Assistant).

It's all very confusing, I know.

Except that's also an issue with Volvo and Polestar being late at implementing CarPlay.

Renault & GM, both of which demoed their AAOS version, enabled both CarPlay and Android Auto, so you could use another nav "app" with Android Automotive via projection.

Android TV is used by more than 160 operators worldwide, more than 150 TV brands and 80 retail devices.

That's not an "hardcore audience" to me. https://www.androidtv-guide.com/

But VP9 decoder is supported by almost every SoC now (Phones, tablets, TV, Set-top boxes, etc).

And TV/STB SoC vendors like Amlogic, Broadcom or Realtek already announced products with AV1 support.

The first Portal devices as well as this Portal TV are using an OS based on Android AOSP.

So porting Fire TV or Android TV apps will be much more easy for developers who want to offer their content on the Portal TV.

Those 1-star reviews on the Play Store are infuriating !

Are you talking for all of us XL 2 users ? Not a single slow down on mine, thanks. Was on beta the first day it was available.

They never announced they retired.
