It was expected to see the IoT device from Apple. Actually, I didn't find information that HomePod has any integration with third party applications like Amazon Skills and Google Intents...
When he was talking price and stated $400-$300 and $200-$100. I thought he was going to say $99. Lol. This is WI-Fi. I have not see nice looking Wi-Fi speakers for what their price was. Still quite high.

@dmerms Wi-Fi speakers, with voice recognition, an iPhone 6 processor, and most of all, high-end sound (most expensive part).

@regislutter probably at the right price now considering the alternatives. An iPhone 6 Processor costs around $18. What does high end sound entail and cost. I don't know what the other things cost. I just found it funny how the price was presented.

@dmerms New hardware is not all about material cost, but R&D. What about the people behind the conception ? ;) Design, hardware, software (sound orientation depending on the reverberations for ex.), etc. A small Sonos speaker cost already 200$ alone, so... high-end sound is expensive ;)
