Google unveiled its new Home Hub but it might be \u2018late to the market\u2019<\/strong><\/a> — from barrons.com by Emily Bary<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Alphabet \u2019s Google has sold millions of voice-enabled speakers, but it inched toward the future at a Tuesday launch event when it introduced the Home Hub smart screen.<\/p>\n

Google isn\u2019t the first company to roll out a screen-enabled home device with voice-assistant technology\u2014 Amazon.com released its Echo Show in July 2017. Meanwhile, Lenovo has gotten good reviews for its Smart Display, and Facebook introduced the Portal on Monday.<\/p>\n

For the most part, though, consumers have stuck to voice-only devices, and it will be up to Google and its rivals to convince them that an added screen is worth paying for. They\u2019ll also have to reassure consumers that they can trust big tech to maintain their privacy, an admittedly harder task these days after recent security issues at Google and Facebook.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amazon was right to realize early on that consumers aren\u2019t always comfortable buying items they can\u2019t even see pictures of, and that it\u2019s hard to remember directions you\u2019ve heard but not seen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
