      Amazon was slated for early 2017, but with the CEO stepping down today, it may show that the rumors about Sonos having a difficult time with the integration are true...

      I would be curious to know the nature of these rumored difficulties with the Echo integration but I doubt if there is a connection to the CEO leaving.

      Wouldn't this be an ideal time for the sonos PR people to announce future google home integration plans?

      Make them up, No. I read it in a few publications as i was keeping up to date with CES, I'd send some links but honestly i dont feel like pulling up my history and waste my time for you. Since its the first you heard of it i must be wrong or just made it up.....

      Well, Google shows nothing, so they must be from those fake news sites our idiot-elect uses for his "facts".

      Most of the articles I can find discuss how MacFarlane was late to recognize the value of voice control which let Amazon surge ahead and cut into Sonos sales. Also some comments about Sonos not showing at CES but I don't see anything specific to progress on or problems with the integration.

      Do Sonos always show at CES? Given the size of the company compared to the majors at CES maybe Sonos were spending their time on their product. After all they have no new kit so show and Alexa integration is probably in private beta so they won't want to show it yet.
