Anything interesting been announced yet. My son is being a terror at the moment so I can’t watch it.

Jeez, thanks Google, can’t watch the event on my TV without my Google Home constantly being triggered and going nuts. 😉

Mine just tried to call the bakery he mentioned just now! Maybe I should turn the microphone off during this event.

F’n A—thanks to the damn demo, my Google Home just tried to call the bakery they mentioned in the keynote!

Google Home Mini so far. Took a while to get there.

Just the Google Home Mini. We're all just waiting on the phone. 😛

I just muted my Home's microphone after this happen to me.

Wow google mini cheap

 

[epicrayban]

At $49 bucks, the Home Mini is gonna sell like hotcakes, I think.

Google Home Mini for $49 USD

That price makes sense, they need to get Google AI in the most homes possible, even if they don't make much money on the units.

 

[epicrayban]

"Google, find my phone" will get the Mini to ring your phone. Nice.

I missed the very start of the keynote—did they at least give a courtesy ‘Hey, might want to mute your Google Home during the presentation?’ IMO, pretty inconsiderate how often they’re triggering GH.

No, I didn't hear them say anything like that. They probably love setting off everyone's home's with these events. I bet they are tracking how many people's home's are reacting to the keynote.

It looks sort of like a hot cake. They are acting and talking very Appley. But less awkward in many ways.

Watching the Google Event.

I'll tell you something.
Siri's got a hell of a lot of catching up to do.

These things seem gimmicky right now, but this is the future.

Edit: Oh interesting… Disney as a partner. I thought that was Apple turf. 😉 😀

My friend just texted me, "My Google home just told me 'Good night!' after the girl demo'd that feature at the keynote."

The problem is real.

 

[Shanghaichica]

Google Home mini looks nice. I wonder how long it will take to come to the uk.

Google have a home pod competitor.

 

[co.ag.2005]

Google Home Max announced, focus on sound for music.

 

[epicrayban]

Google Home Max...

Price...?

 

[v0lume4]

Ooh. Kind of digging the Google Home Max.

Just like with the HomePod, my question is again -- will voice commands work with Spotify?

 

[tbayrgs]

Google Home Max...just beat Apple out the door! 😱

Ahh he said machine learning again. If I were drinking I would be so gone.

They said it was the size of a donut, so pretty close 😉
