Spaceboy 2573 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 https://store.google.com/product/google_homedo you think that's a waiting list as in the preorders are sold out? Or will they open preorders before the launch date? Can I now buy a US one and have it shipped to U.K. And expect it to work? What's my quickest way of getting one basically?

Pass Apart from the Google Store, it'll be available from Argos, Dixons, John Lewis and Maplin, so you could try them.
Spaceboy 2573 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Checked them all, no-ones taking orders yet. If anyone sees one of the uk sites taking orders could they post it here? Would be appreciated!

Guest asrequested Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) I just don't like how they look. It looks like an air freshener. And I really don't want to say "OK Google" all the time. Can you change that? Edited April 6, 2017 by Doofus
Luke 42077 Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Why not just do whatever you need to do manually?
Guest asrequested Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 You mean type into a search engine or voice control?
Guest asrequested Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Ha! Well I think most people want it to ask questions. As for voice control, that's just fun Truth be told, the way I operate, I'll always use keyboard and mouse. But it nice to ask for the forecast and other things like that. The biggest disappointment is that echo isn't DNLA. Is google home, DNLA? That would be a huge benefit for listening to your music in a remote part of the house.

Jdiesel 1431 Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Call me old fashioned but I like a remote. The first time the voice control didn't work, asked me to repeat what I said, or played the wrong thing it would be out of my home theater and into the trash. I mean the only time it would be helpful is when you have buttery popcorn fingers and don't want you get your remote all greasy
