I had one for two weeks and sent it back. The requirement to summon an app before asking your question is clumsy and really takes the "magic" out of the experience. I'm waiting for the Google Home to be available.

Critically lacking in both ecosystems, is the ability to handle multiple user profiles so that it can recognise who is asking the question and tailor the answer to that users schedule, travel etc.

TBH, GH is just a large speaker for your smartphone.

How will saying "Okay, Google" not be summoning the app?

I agree that a conversational interface will cut down on summoning the app.
