What are your overall thoughts about Home Pod Mini? I'm fully-immersed in Apple's ecosystem, except for my smart speakers (I have two Google Nest Audio speakers). I chose Google's Nest Audio speakers because they seem to be such a better overall value - bigger sound/speaker, native Spotify integration, and it's not Siri (😄). I'm mainly drawn to the Home Pod Mini mainly for the ecosystem continuity - Reminders, shopping list, etc, but just not sure if it would be money well-spent. The most frustrating thing about Home Pod Mini is the fact that it doesn't have Spotify integrated - I know there's a workaround, but I'm not interested in that. Spotify is my music app, so having that built in integration is important to me.

I can deal with Siri and all of it's shortcomings since I'm not using Siri to control my home, but I think most can agree that Google is the clear winner here. I mainly use it for music, timers, alarms, check traffic, etc.

Just looking for some thoughts/feedback on the subject ...

Thanks
