Even if the thing has zero hardware capability to communicate I can't overcome my gut feeling that the thing is an ad targeting data mining device. There is basically nothing google could say or write at this point about one of their devices that would make me think they respect my privacy.

Well, at least they are now trying to point out products that weren't built for data mining.

I'm excited what the second one will be.

Wait for an iFixit teardown or some other third party to verify that there isn't external communication hardware.
