There was a time when the Amazon Echo was the only smart speaker on the block, but times are changing as Google Home and Apple's Homepod give Amazon Echo a good bit of healthy competition. As far as price points go Amazon may still be winning in the minds of frugal consumers. Apples Homepod which will be available later this year comes with a price tag of $349 a pop which Apple says is justified based on the extra bells and whistles that will make this speaker stand out above the rest. Features of all the Smart Speaker options include, streaming music directly from your phone or tablet, and popular online music services as well as having a smart assistant built-in to the products.
Future versions of voice assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home could listen to your conversation and use it to target marketing towards you, patents have revealed.
