Would you buy / do you own a smart speaker?

Smart speakers are all the new rage nowadays... well, for developers, at least. Getting voice assistants out of our phones and on devices that we spread across our homes seems to be a lucrative business idea.

What do users get? Easy queries, web-searches, note- and reminder-making, texting, calls, and music playback through a simple voice request. And addressing your smart assistant by voice is definitely much less awkward when you do it in the comfort of your own home.

Apple has just joined the fold and has finally announced the launch date for its HomePod. Samsung is reportedly preparing its own smart speaker, and LG has been seen dabbling with the concept. Of course, there are the Google Home and Amazon Echo out there as well. Obviously, these large companies see a market for the smart speakers. Do you? Would you buy one, or do you already have one?
