Abridged:

Well, at CES, we spoke with NVIDIA, and we’re informed that the company is still working hard on the Spot with Google and do expect to release it in the future. Though, there was no specific date given.

NVIDIA and Google are working together on the Spot and are focusing on polishing it up, so that the user experience is a great one. NVIDIA did mention to us that the main delay in the Spot was the fact that Google Assistant made its way over to the NVIDIA SHIELD TV, so the two teams had then decided to work on polishing the experience on the big screen before moving over to the Spot. So it’s not available yet, but they do expect it to come in the near future.

So the NVIDIA Spot isn’t coming just yet, and we really still have no idea when it is coming, but it should be coming soon. At least that is what NVIDIA wants us to believe. It may eventually launch under a different name, depending on how long it is before it is available for purchase.

No release date confirmed.

I won't be holding my breath. Would love to see this product come about, but they've downgraded public statements on timeline from a fiscal quarter (last year) to something even more vague.
