I will be picking up a home pod in December, maybe two.

Save your money or go another direction. HomePod is flagrant ecosystem lock. Once Sonos supports Siri, the HomePod has no purpose.

Too bad the XL 2 is the ugliest of this years flagship phones.....the Note 8 is a beauty

Lol, we have forum member Dumastudetto for unabashed adoration of all things Apple and now you for complete devotion to Samsung. If we got you and D together in a room I think there would be something akin to a matter and antimatter explosion and we would all cease to exist!

I’ll probably keep him or her up until my Panda Pixel arrives. I’m feeling really positive about my preorder. Reviews and previews are looking good.

Of course this morning I discovered more drama that will likely cost me another fortune in vet bills and aid to wildlife as well. That is kind of freaking me out given what happened to me last year. It is all to do with my continuing commitment to feral cat rescue. I have expenses all year but extra drama like I had last year is not the norm. Oh well I’ll manage.

I’ve had better luck with Google’s G-Board keyboard for my S8’s+. It does still do some odd things with font sizes when I try to edit out typos, but it works much better than the Samsung one. When I try typing on the native Samsung keyboard I look like I’m typing in Klingon.

It's not Penguin Pixel?

I'm really impressed by the Google Max speaker demo. It sounds really good from what I can tell. It starts around the 1:30 mark. The whole video is pretty nice.

I can't wait to see how reviews are. I want one.

Google's home ecosystem still needs a bit more cooking, but it looks so impressive, especially with Google's AI behind it.
