Google Home Is Cool, But Catching Up to Amazon Echo Won't Be Easy

Google Home makes one heck of a first impression: An adorable little Bluetooth speaker, with a hyper-advanced personal assistant that promises to do things Amazon's Echo can't even dream of. You can even choose the color. On paper, Home seems superior to Echo in so many ways that it doesn't feel like a fair fight. That also may well be true in practice! But the race between Home and Echo may turn out to be a little more complicated than specs.
