Google's Pixel Tag finally surfaces, priced to poke AirTag right in the wallet

Google's Pixel Tag is finally real, and it costs $29.99, or $99.99 for a four-pack, which is basically the same price as Apple's AirTag 2, but with a shape that's a little longer and a little thinner. It weighs 0.4 ounces, so slightly lighter than Apple's tracker, and it plugs into Google's Find Hub network. No hole for a keyring, though, which means you'll need a case or a sticky mount if you want to attach it to anything. That's a small friction point for something that's otherwise aimed straight at the AirTag's wallet. It makes me wonder how many people have been waiting for a first-party Google tracker, and whether the oblong design will actually stay put on a dog collar or a backpack.
