This won't work with Android devices as you can't set it up

Abstract: 既報の通り WWDC17では、ウワサされていたモノからサプライズまで、例年になく豊富な新デバイスが発表されました。 会場にはハンズオン（タッチ＆トライとも言う）スペースが用意されており、ごく短時間ではありますが実機に触れることもできました。新MacBook、iMacなどもありましたが、今回発表された、いわゆる完全な新機種（iPad Pro 10.5、iMac Pro、HomePod）を中心に、その印象をお届けします。 ▲Appleのハンズオンは体験すること、説明することを目的としているため、照明など...

Abstract: 애플은 홈팟(HomePod)으로 경쟁사들보다 늦게 스마트 스피커 시장에 뛰어들었다. 아마존과 구글은 이미 몇 년 전부터 스마트 스피커 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 솔루션을 출시하여 수천만 대의 에코와 홈 디바이스를 판매해 왔다. 최초의 ‘2017년 말' 출시일을 놓친 홈팟은 결국 몇몇 기능이 제한되거나 누락된 상태로 출시될 수 밖에 없었다. 홈팟의 우수한 오디오 성능은 인정하지만, 타 기업들보다 늦게, 치열한 경쟁이 이루어지고 있는 시장에 뛰어든 애플이 이...
Abstract: 홈팟은 아이폰과 함께. 애플의 블루투스 이어폰인 "에어팟"은 안드로이드 기기와 연동은 되지만 기능을 100% 사용할 수 없어 반쪽짜리라고 볼 수 있는데요, 홈팟은 그마저도 허락되지 않습니다. 독자 규격의 애플답게 홈팟 역시 일반적으로 생각하는 블루투스 스피커와는 조금 다른데요, 오로지 애플 제품들만 연동할 수 있기 때문에 애플 제품을 사용하지 않는 사람들은 구매리스트에 홈팟이 있다면 당장 삭제해야 합니다. 그렇다면 "애플 제품을 사용할 경우...

Abstract: 정식 출시가 72시간도 채 남지 않은 현재, 애플 홈팟(HomePod)의 초기 리뷰가 속속 매체에 올라오고 있다. 349달러의 애플 스마트 스피커에 대해 대부분 ‘스피커' 부분에선 긍정적인 평가를, ‘스마트'에 대해선 부정적인 평가를 하고 있다. 시리가 다른 디바이스에서 형편없이 동작하는 데다가 애플은 홈팟용으로 시리를 따로 개선하지 않았기에 홈팟의 시리 기능은 크게 기대가 없었던 것도 사실이다. 그러나 실제로는 우리 기대보다 더 나쁜 것으로 보인다...
