Google has the business resources, global scale and platform reach to accelerate Nest growth across hardware, software and services for the home globally.

People buy products, and they want to understand what those things are and how they are applicable to their life.

We're thrilled to join Google. With their support, Nest will be even better placed to build simple, thoughtful devices that make life easier at home, and that have a positive impact on the world.

There are a lot of designers who think they understand technology and a lot of technology guys who think they understand design. But to put them together and make it robust and repeatable for the mass market? It's an art.
