Yeah, I suspect folk who reside in perfectly civilized countries without any geopolitical hindrances to be locked out for a long while--which, given Google's usual inability to reach out across Europe, may mean we'll only have access when it's about to be cancelled.

Still better than Apple! I pay the full price for Apple Pay but Apple thinks I shouldn't have access to Fitness+. Or Siri, which still doesn't support my language (Polish, 40M speakers) and has problems recognizing my English accent (whereas Google is fine).

Well, I'm in Portugal and we don't have true, bona fide, first-party Apple stores. And I've been complaining about that for twenty years...

We don't have that here either, but I'm satisfied with the Apple premium reseller network.

Maybe its to save you from making comments like "I am not going to use any Google product ever, since they canceled Google Reader ..etc etc"

A foolproof tactic for google. Customers can’t be burned if they never get to become customers in the first place.

Or as the old saying goes, “if a google product is felled in a forest, and there’s no users to notice, did google really fail?”

Hello, my friend. Your question has given me pause for thought on the subject of achieving desired results.

If we consider the desired outcome of a particular thing, then failure to achieve that outcome cannot be considered acceptable. However, we must allow for a sufficiency of time wherein the thing will progress and improve before coming to a conclusion.

On the other hand, if we contemplate the impact of a thing on its intended audience, then it must meet their expectations and desires to be deemed as effective. It is important to note that the relevance of a thing to its observers may depend on various factors such as timing and perspective.

Ultimately, effectiveness is determined by the desired outcome and the audience it serves. We must assess the purpose of the thing and its surroundings to determine its success or failure. It is similar to crafting a powerful message - we must consider the intended recipients and create a message that resonates with them.

Seems to be 'not available' in Australia.
