It's difficult to tell when you're in the midst of a landmark moment in history.
Few guessed that in 2008 when Google debuted the G1, the first phone to run Android, the mobile software would transform the wireless world. It didn't help that when Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin went up on stage, they were wearing roller blades.
Page and Brin are probably laughing their inline skates off these days. Nearly nine out of every 10 phones sold run on Android software.
On Tuesday, Google took its best shot at making history again. The company introduced the Pixel and Pixel XL, which represent the first time it will offer superphones in the same class -- complete with the full backing of Google, a lofty price tag and an exclusive partnership with Verizon Wireless -- as Apple's iPhone franchise. At long last, Google's phones give us a showdown between two of the world's most powerful tech titans
