Our Amazon Echo Just Shipped
-
Sadly, we shipped it to New York (where we will be passing through this summer briefly) because we were told that it was going to ship late (after we had left Texas.) But instead, it shipped early. So it is going to be in storage in NY until summer when we pick it up and bring it down to Houston where the plan is to have it set up in our bedroom here to use mostly as a bluetooth speaker.
-
Well I will be posting about mine at least.
-
And it has arrived! Sadly I don't have access to it now.

No, NOTHING extra is going to Spain. Nothing. Even our clothing has to be cut down to the absolute bare necessities.

I bought one, I'm still not sure on the idea of it. Haven't decided if I will cancel it or not yet.

It may just end up being a Bluetooth speaker in my kitchen but I am hoping it will be useful to me at least somewhat.

Yeah, now that is something that just won't be of any use to me, or at least so far hasn't been.
I was given a a Beats Pill BT speaker last year. I've used it all of once. -
we only have one Bluetooth speaker in the house and we fight over it. So another one will be nice if nothing else.
-
We use BlueTooth speakers quite often. And with it able to stream music and other audio material on its own without a device attached it will be that much better. I anticipate using it as a computer while in bed in the dark. I'm hoping that it handles Audible well.
-
I just got mine am setting it up now.

These types of devices scare me a little. at least it's made by amazon rather than a data mining company like google.
-
dash, want to trade that pill for something?

That's why I am comfortable with it. Google doesn't worry me much, but Amazon very little.

So far:
Works great as a Bluetooth speaker. The voice recognition is really very good for all 3 of us here. Love the to do and shopping list features. The reminder/alarm feature will be handy for me. The remote allows me to have the Echo in another room and just use the remote to activate it (ok I will revise that I am going to smack @Mike-Ralston he has the remote somewhere in the house with him). -
How does the remote work? Can you talk into it?
-
I was just wondering that.
