Google Home is now available Chromecast Ultra starts shipping Daydream View headsets too

Google Home is now available to buy from Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. The smart speaker thats infused with Google Assistant can be yours for $129. Its Googles direct competitor for Amazons Echo line, which means you shouldnt expect it to ever be sold by the mega-retailer. Google Home is a US-only product for now. Aside from being able to talk to it and ask it various questions, you can also control certain smart home devices (the list of supported ones should grow in the future).

The 4K Chromecast Ultra which Google announced alongside the Home speaker has started shipping today, for those who pre-ordered from the Google store. The $69 device isnt officially available in any brick and mortar stores yet.

And speaking of things that arent officially available, the Daydream View VR headset should only be out on November 10, according to Google itself. That said, some people who have pre-ordered t he Daydream View are starting to receive their units, which have been shipped early. That would normally be cause for celebration, but in this case theres a problem: using the headset requires an app called Google VR Services, which simply doesnt exist on the Play Store yet. We assume that will be published on November 10, so if you do get your Daydream View early, it looks like youll have to wait a few days before you can use it.
