WHAT IS AMAZON ECHO GOOD FOR

5/7/2015

At first glance, Amazon Echo looks like an ordinary portable speaker, but if you dig deeper, you'll find that it's so much more.  Surprisingly priced at $179, the Amazon Echo is in line to become a household staple, like the television and the microwave.  So what is Amazon Echo good for?  Slate Magazine calls it the "always-on personal assistant."  CNN calls it the "computer of the future."  Over 21,000 people have submitted reviews on Amazon, and it's currently the #1 BEST SELLER in the Home Audio Speakers category.

ECHO BEGINS SHIPPING JULY 19TH

Using Wi-fi and Bluetooth for connectivity, the Amazon Echo is a voice command device and audio speaker with functions like question answering, streaming music and controlling household smart devices.

Standing 9.25-inch (23.5 cm) in height, the Amazon Echo is designed like a cylinder speaker with a seven-piece microphone array, speakers that include a woofer/tweeter and an optional remote control.
Voiced in the same fashion as Apple's "Hey, Siri" and Google's "Ok Google", to activate Amazon Echo, the user voices the name "Alexa", followed by a command or question.  Amazon has been developing Echo for at least four years. Echo was part of Amazon’s first attempts to expand its device portfolio beyond the original Kindle E-reader.
