    Sounds like an iPad mini with the mobility of a HomePod. Unless this thing is cheap (it won’t be), why not just get an iPad mini.

      could be nice to have a dedicated always-on device in the kitchen or other family-oriented space. default screen could be like the family calendar or a shopping list or any number of other things.

      If there’s a decent speaker as well and the price is okay (probably high though), I could be interested.

      We FaceTime a lot, so would use it for that, as well as play music and maybe even use it for Home Assistant.

      I had a Google home like this for years, was never great because it could not be used as a Bluetooth speaker, and the music services Google uses is limited (Napster and tidal are not supported). If this has AirPlay or the ability to use any music service of my choice I will get one. Especially if it can use my apps such as my recipe manager so I can see a c recipe on the screen while I cook.

    I suppose this would complete with Amazon’s Echo Show. My sister and father had those, so the kids could have video calls with grandpa.
