Hello! Google Home now makes calls

Which is better: the Alexa powered Echo or Google's first attempt at a smart home speaker? Kim Komando has the answers. Google Home is coming to a host of new appliances. Google Home, the Internet giant's answer to the Amazon Echo-connected speaker, is ready to start making phone calls.
