Why Apple's HomePod has a chance

My primary phone is an iPhone 7 Plus, although I use Android phones all week as part of my job. In my house, I use the Apple TV and quite a few HomeKit devices, so I'm already using Siri to turn my lights on and off and even to activate a sprinkler system. Product success can depend greatly on an established audience. When the Apple HomePod ships this December, I'll buy one or two or six. I'll probably even try to score one of the first ones at my local Apple store, as I did with an iPad long, long ago.
