Looks neat, let's hope Google leads in 3rd party applications too and not just in appearance. Also interesting that they specifically gave a shout out to the Alexa team.

Weird, can a mod change the link to https? That seems to be working - https://home.google.com/

I find it odd that Google is going to take so long to get this out the door - "later this year" seems like ages. Did they start on the hardware that late?

Amazon has what, 6 months to get more competitive on the search/trivia front? or this is going to kill it.

Looks like something that should've been under the Nest brand. Whatever happened to that?

Competition against Amazon Echo is always positive for consumers.
