Re: Google Consumers are probably not as concerned as they might logically thought to be, as brand loyatly counts for a great deal; Siri will be thought to be great by most Apple users, while Android folks will stick with theirs and not complain unless there's such a great differene in performance among the competitors.

Re: Google I'm curious if anyone thinks Siri is just being left behind in the dust behind Alexa and Google's voice assistant services? Siri has only just started to add integrations that are useful. And I'm not sure if Apple relies on a 3rd party to handle the voice/speech recognition? I think Apple initially used Nuance, but I'm not sure if that's true anymore. It would be a bit surprising if Apple didn't want to use its own speech tech in order to improve it at its own pace -- and to have an exclusive voice tech backend.

Re: Google Susan very true right now it is in the digital assistant market but there needs to be an infrastructure of integration to make that home assistant truly valuable I have seen Amazon evolve its integrations but its still not there. For Google, it is not a sprint to catch up and create a real competitor for Amazon.

Re: Google The smart home is advancing quickly so if Google doesn’t hurry up it will be left behind.

Re: Google @Michelle some things look harder than they are the early reviews for google home have not been great largely because they are playing catchup with Amazon echo which is already several versions deep. It's hard to unhook people from their tech as you know many people are all Apple or all Amazon or Droid so it's more challenging than it may seem at first try.

Re: Google I think they just do a bad job of translating what works in-house with what the public actually wants. Google+ was widely liked in office, but the public cared a lot less than Googlers. I think the same thing happened with messenging.

Re: Google Yes, I'd be interested to know just what keeps Google from growing in the messaging area, especially with all the Android devices outnumbering everything else. They certainly have their work cut out or them in the cloud as well competing against Amazon and the others.

Re: Google Haha, they are missing that. Building a social platform that people want to use is apparently harder than it looks. They keep changing the messenger options with Google+ or it may have been an option. They still lag behind Facebook messenger adoption.

Re: IoT spending Not now but in 2020, according to several reseach papers. Do you need me to get a link here to backup my words or can you trust what I say?

Re: IoT spending @Mitch Is that your own picture illustrating the article? It looks like a bottle of 4711 cologne is in the background. It's not altogether that common, so I do wonder at the placement.
