I'm just here to say how happy I am about that Oxford comma in the article title.

Already got mine but I’m looking forward to my HomePod supporting News and Canadian music charts. Other than that, HomePod has worked perfectly in Canada. ('https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/homepod-in-canada.2107471/')

Strange Date. Why not announce it at their conference in a week?
They haven't announced it officially, not yet.
The french apple store still says "available in spring".
I think however it make sense to announce new HomePod availability today together with the press release of 11.4 since AirPlay 2 is finally supported and HomePod will take benefit from it. But HomePod release dates may as well be announced next Monday during the keynote
