November 1st 2918 SONOS wrote a blog post, postponing the launch of Google assistant on SONOS one and beam to 2019. No date given. The post ender with this:
Stay tuned. We look forward to sharing another update in early 2019!
We are now well into April and there is still no word on a launch date. Only new commitments at CES that this will launch in 2019.
So what is it going to be SONOS? When exactly will you launch Google assistant, that you promised people more than one and a half year ago, when you started selling the one?
Please answer this simple question SONOS. You owe that much after all this time of stalling.

Bet $$$ it will be announced at Google I/O 2019 on May 9th.

That was my original thought as well, just that it would be sad if this is true. Well, at least I'd find it a deflating reality if Google chose to delay this process so they could be the ones to make the official announcement.

I want to believe they wouldn't do such a thing, but at this point it's entirely plausible. I'm a big Google advocate but even I find some of their latest moves to be... shall we say questionable.

All this said, I also feel Sonos has had very little control over GA integration. Perhaps not that they have absolutely no bearing on the delay, but moreso that Google carries more breadth and influence in their partnership so Google has the final word.

This is all speculation, of course.
