Description:
Google might launch stylus and keyboard accessories for the Pixel Tablet.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Google Pixel Tablet is in some ways like an iPad, specifically an iPad 
10.9 (2022) , as theyre both mid-range slates and have very similar screen 
sizes. But the gap between looks as though it may continue to narrow. 

Thats because  according to leaker @Za_Raczke (via Phone Arena )  Google is 
working on a Stylus for Pixel Tablet and a Keyboard for Pixel Tablet. They 
put those terms in quotes, so it sounds like those would be the launch names 
for these accessories. 

In a follow-up tweet , they claim these accessories are still in development, 
and dont give any indication of when they will actually launch. "Keyboard for 
Pixel Tablet" May 29, 2023 See more 

Wed take this with a pinch of salt then, as its always possible that 
in-development stuff wont ever see the light of day. Plus, this leaker doesnt 
have as much of an established track record as some, though they have 
accurately leaked things in the past. 

Also in support of this, Mishaal Rahman (who does have an extensive and 
decent track record) replied noting theyd spotted the term Android stylus in 
Android code . Though they added that this could just be an internal 
testing-only product. A big upgrade to a promising tablet 

Still, if Google does launch a keyboard and stylus for the Pixel Tablet, that 
would make it way better both for work and creation, and give it two more 
tools that you can also get with an iPad. Coming from Google, its likely 
these accessories would cost less than Apples versions too, though thats just 
speculation for now. 

These would be handy additions in any case. We havent finished reviewing the 
Pixel Tablet yet, but in our hands-on Pixel Tablet review we noted the lack 
of a keyboard folio as one of our main issues with it. 

Otherwise, our early impressions were largely positive. We praised its 
versatility, with it being able to work both as a tablet and a smart display, 
along with its competitive price. So the addition of a keyboard and a stylus 
could potentially turn an already likely good slate into one of the best 
tablets .
