Google speaker is secretary, radio … and work in progress
NEW YORK — Google’s new smart speaker is at once a secretary, a librarian and a radio.
Ask about your day, and the Home speaker will give you the time, weather, estimated commute, the news and upcoming calendar appointments. It will convert miles into feet, and dollars into euros. Want to hear Adele or Coldplay? Home will fetch you some tunes.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because Amazon has already been at it for about two years.
