Maybe a stupid question, but here goes.....

Will Google Home also act like a speakerphone? I was just looking at a Bose Soundlink, and remembered I ordered Google Home. Do you think the speaker will be a great sounding speaker, as good as Bose? Do you think we will be able to use it a a speakerphone?

As far as I know, they haven't announced speaker phone specifically. Though I would cautiously guess it will work in one way or another. If not directly on the GHome it's self, you will probably be able to tell it to place the call on your cell and have it start on speaker. There may already be a way to do just that using IFTT which will be supported on GHome.

As for the Bose Soundlink, I've owned 3 and I love them, which is why everytime a new one comes out I gift my od one to someone else and get me the new one. I'm sure GHome will have excellent sound clarity for speech and some music but it will definitely shine better with a Chromecast connected to a home theater system. That way you'll be able to tell GHome to play your music on your full Bose 7.1 home theater sound system. I'd recommend the Soundlink color for portability and ruggedness if you still want to pike one up. great for throwing in a bag or cargo shorts and taking to out door activities.
