Same people who laughed at apps on Apple TV insist on Apple putting voice apps on HomePod. Makes little sense.

The question isn’t whether there are apps – it’s how they’re handled. Apple decided to put apps there (hard not to given SiriKit).

Apple users can do everything with voice on several devices at home already, only thing mis is a good speaker. HomePod solve a problem.

Lots of AirPlay speakers out there already. This is about voice.

Nope. Apple explicitly said it’s about good speakers.

This is a good speaker with voice. There are lots of good speakers, but not good speakers with voice. It’s voice that’s the differentiator

Why do I need another voice app device when I got sevaral already? Amazon has no other device running apps, it has no choice.

Ask Apple. They’re making a speaker with both voice and apps. Reality is these things are useful, whatever the origin story

Comparing voice to Unix shell is absurd. Voice UI for common tasks is vastly simpler for ordinary people

Jan, very well said sir. Also a prima fascia point as #VoiceFirst utility is not an abstract idea, with the specular rise of Alexa, et el.
