Gadget: Amazon Echo

That's actually kinda cool. It's pretty much like Siri. However, it picks up voices in the room, so you have to move it room to room as you need it. My iphone fits in my pocket, and I have it with me all of the time.

Kind of agree with Joe / Rob.. Looks cool (if you do not mind Amazon mining more of your personal information). Plus is she / Alexa listening all the time (Hmmmm).

 

That probably scares me more than anthing else....

 

The button on top turns off the microphone.

 

It kind of looks cool, but i feel like its one of those gadgets that people will but thinking they will use it all the time and end up never using it at all.

It will be interesting to see how well it works in real life with background noise.

 

Androids voice commands work pretty well most of the time. If there is any appreciable amount of noise though I have a hard time getting the complete command to be understood. Usually gets 4 out of 5 words, but still falls on its face.

Has a remote with it to extend range, no need to really move it.

With music turned all the way up (from the echo itself, which is pretty loud and sounds good), it can hear and understand my commands all the way across the room.
