Who got the Amazon Echo?
 

I got mine earlier this week and set it up last night. The voice recognition is really incredible. The system is very good at picking out your questions and hearing you through other noise, like music.

This should be a lot of fun. I'm very curious to see what functionality they add over time.

Amazon struck out on the Fire Phone, but this is going to be a winner.

My parents and my kids' mom are supposed to be getting them, but I'm not sure that they've arrived.

The initial half price deal was appealing.

Never heard of it. I want one.

I YELL this when I'm alone just to be safe.

Sure...willing install a device in your home that "listens" to your every word and conversation and is monitored by Amazon/NSA.

I don't think so! Thanks but I would not have one if they were giving the things away...

You don't have a cell phone or laptop? iMac?

I think we all need to stop being naïïve. If we are going to be spied on, let's at least have some fun!

My father in law was going to get one and I told him he should pass. It is a novelty item by a company that's an online retailer. It is unlikely to get traction and Amazon will drop support for it I predict or just let it languish with no real updates. A guy I know thought getting a Google Glass was a great idea and then a few months later Google announced they were stopping the project because no one really cared for the device.

fuck, you already got your's? when did you order, the second after you got the invite? i passed, i wanted to wait, how's the audio for music?


speaking of cool amazon shit, get it, speaking of, yuk,yuk...i will be getting the amazon dash for several items, did you get the invite for the dash?

Is there an audio out jack or any way to connect it to an external audio system?

Sure I do but those devices are not always on and actively "listening" to my conversations as this device is. Do a little research on how this works AND some of the future uses they have planned for it.

Anyone who got in the Glass program and didn't realize that it was a beta test, is an idiot. Google Glass tech is far from dead.

fuck me , i want one .

thats like your personal J.A.R.V.I.S . yay yay yay

The Smart TVs do it as well.

Imagine the scene...
After a hearty meal of beans you let rip 5 room clearers in 10 minutes. Next add break is all flatulence adverts and one for Fabreeze!

I wasn't supposed to get mine until July, but got an email last week saying I should have it in a few weeks.

I'm curious how it works with Apple products - if at all.

Scratch that - I just saw they came out with an Iphone app since I ordered mine: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id944011620?mt=8
