Bold move to expand to hardware, somewhat similar to Facebook's investment in Portal.

This, in my view, is about positioning Spotify deeper in people's lives, and making the "Hey Spotify" voice assistant more useful and ubiquitous.

@chrismessina great comment Chris. Very interesting to read up on this.

Car thing is a 10/10 name!! My grandma will love this!

Seems like the market is for older cars? Newer cars are more and more touch-screen enabled and even include car-play. Can't imagine there's a large audience for people wanting two touchscreens in there car that do the practically same thing.

@axel_norvell there isn't. I guess Spotify is just trying to see reactions to this concept, I imagine it's not a real product

This looks great! Any chance for non-US residents to order? I see it's US only at the moment.

I think might be interesting for all these people with old cars and no Apple CarPlay / Android Auto connection. But for me is not worth it

I had a new car and it was great but now with an old car and no monthly payments I'm thinking you're right, this could be interesting, but I wonder how it would compare to the car speakers. I've got a great Bluetooth speaker that fills the car with sound, but it rolls around a lot.
Alexey Strelkov
@ianmayman I guess it connects to your car's audiosystem via bluetooth or aux. It's the only viable options
Ian
Old cars don't have Bluetooth if it's the original radio, some like mine don't have an Aux port either.

@bartonsmith and @sarfoodie love the looks of it. Truly frictionless audio experience! Yup, that's what I was waiting for. Any plans for international release? Can't wait to test it 😁🎶
André Kuhlmann
I would love to see that as a smart home / media hub.
Jack Davis
Wow interesting hardware product! They seem rare these days.

It will be interesting to see how spotify positions itself into the hardware
