Earlier this month, Google surprised us with OnHub , a $200 WiFi router made in partnership with TP-Link that looks great and packs in some smart technology (even if it only has one ethernet port). We knew Google planned to release an app to pair with and control the OnHub, and today Google On hit the Play Store.

Most smartphone users rarely discover all the things that their handsets are capable of. But that's OK: as long as a smartphone does what its owner wants it to do, there's no real need for other things.
