When do you expect to have a smart speaker?
The smart speaker market is growing at an explosive pace. The market leader is currently Amazon's Echo Dot, reported to have close to 75% of the market, with most of the rest of the market currently belonging to Google Home. Because this is such a rapidly growing techie-type product, we figured it would be a good topic for today's poll. Besides sharing whether you already have one, or plan to get a smart speaker, be sure to share your thoughts about them.
