Overall, pretty good article. I was not aware that Android Wear was dead. The only thing that seemed disingenuous was this remark about iPads not supporting Flash: “...all of which sounded virtually identical to the themes in this year's launch of…

Still slavishly copying, It’s like a remote tribe seeing a car for the first time, making one out of mud and straw, and focusing on adding killer airbags.

Hmmm. Broken Alexa vs. working Siri. Decisions, decisions...

Ok, I’ll summarize. If you want a smart speaker that does smart things, get an Alexa. If you want great sound and almost no smart features, get any nice speaker (or add one to your Alexa). If you’re an Apple sycophant, publish a lopsided sound comp…

This article is really unbecoming, and unworthy of Appleinsider. After the author clutches his pearls about this awful conspiracy he admits, "I don't have a HomePod, nor do I have a Google Home Max, so I can't speak to the accuracy of the Consumer …

Still need to see a double blind study. Or maybe they tried that and got the wrong results.

iCintos said: Yes, the Siri aspect comes up short in the reviews.... but Siri comes up short on the iPhone/iPad, too, and they still sell well. As for the limitations of content, well it is for the Apple Ecosystem, stupid. The reviews genera…

leighr said: Cost is a relative thing. Perhaps Apple would have been better to introduce HomePod at $175 in order to firstly gain market share, and then move up to premium HomePodPro models. They couldn’t drop the quality though, people expe…

Will HomePod stream from an iTunes music library on the local network? I just got an Alexa as a gift and was disappointed to learn it cannot play a local library to a Sonos speaker. So, while I can install media servers and have Alexa play local m…
