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. ('//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
