Not available here in Ireland though. A predominantly english speaking nation.
It's available in Ireland, but maybe not to the Irish. As far as I know all of the European Apple online stores ship from Cork, and some of them sell Homepods.
Not all of them. There's a big warehouse in Czech Republic where all my orders usually come from (To Germany).

I'm guessing being able to send any audio stream, for example your computer audio, so you can use Spotify or anything playing at your computer. Someone did this without the need of jailbreak for Sonos speakers, although it has some delay so was not good for movies or games.

I hope this leads to some way besides Airplay to play arbitrary audio with no delay. If Apple had just included support for Bluetooth audio (or God forbid, an aux jack) I would've bought two full-sized Homepods to use as computer speakers two months ago.
No delay but Bluetooth audio? Is that that even possible? I use Bluetooth audio a lot when only listening to media but try and use Bluetooth headphones while playing a MIDI instrument. For me I struggle when I try to do that. My headphones are Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT. They support Bluetooth 5.0 https://www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/ath-m50xbt I’ve been using them with a wire connection to my MPC X when doing music b…
> What about results? The first-generation AirPods, which use Apple’s W1 chip, measure latency of 274 ms. Second-generation AirPods, released earlier this year and powered by Apple’s newer H1 chip, drop the latency to 178 ms. And AirPods Pro, which use the same H1 chip, are even better at 144 ms.
What use cases do you see this having? Just curious
This would be useful for anyone who uses it to block out traffic/street noise at night.

Not even using a Mac? I am surprised.
It can. Anyone who tells you it can't is repeating some rumor they read on an Apple-hater forum or something. HomePods show up on your devices just like any other audio device you own.

No you can’t if you want stereo sound: https://www.google.com/amp/s/9to5mac.com/2020/07/22/mac-soun...

Google Home Max also does the auto calibration thing and also has an Aux jack and bluetooth support.
OP may also care about privacy.

Yes, it depends on taste. Those are just boxes...
They look like the sort of pack-in speakers you got free with a Packard Bell computer in 1993.

The aesthetics mainly. HomePods, for all their flaws, are very decent speakers in a small footprint. They blend in and are very minimalist, in my opinion, and that's important to me.
Depends on your taste, I guess. For me this is quite minimalist: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41A-xmDb8nL...
