Harman Kardon speaker powered by Microsoft's Cortana gets certified
Harman Kardon with Cortana
Microsoft is another major player that's likely to adhere the fray, as the Redmond-based company plans to lend its Cortana personal digital assistant to Harman.
Since the device hasn't been unveiled at CES 2017 in early January, there's a chance Samsung, Harman's new owner might announce the speaker at Mobile World Congress later this month.
Regardless, a Harman Kardon speaker recently received its Wi-Fi certification at Wi-Fi Alliance, so the reveal announcement can't be too far away. The product's description mentions the speaker is powered by Cortana, and that it runs Linux version 3.8.13.
