Smart speakers market is growing rapidly. Google and Amazon have already sold millions of their smart speakers in the last year. Xiaomi, Alibaba, Microsoft, Apple and many others have already launched their own smart speakers recently. Facebook doesn't want to miss the opportunity. Their research lab is reportedly working on a device about the size of a laptop for video calls, similar to Amazon Echo Show, and a separate smart speaker. The devices could be available as soon as spring 2018. Something big and completely new is coming. Amazon Echo has only 15000 skills, Google Home has something around 400 and Microsoft Cortana has only about 70 apps available. Can you imagine that App Store, for example, has only 70 apps available? That's crazy. Don't miss the train, it's going super fast. https://venturebeat.com/2017/08/01/facebook-is-reportedly-developing-a-video-chat-device-and-smart-speaker/
