As much as I love Amazon (as I buy a lot w/ Amazon prime), I yet to own a single alexa device.
I don't think I want to go there, ever.

Incredibly hard if you have a handicap
Wow, Amazon really knows how to keep the leaks of their upcoming products contained! I had no Idea any of these products were about to be announced. Apple could learn something. /s
...I kid, I know nobody cares about their products.
A bunch of devices endlessly listening and recording everything you say and then commoditizing that to serve Amazon's thirsty greed? Um, no thank you. I'll stick with Apple, the company that Edward Snowden himself has called a pioneer in the field of privacy.
my wife has been having more and more issues with the alexa devices. they activate with nothing even close to alexa or computer we have them set for. often they fail to work with sonos anymore even just lowering the volume often fails. not sure if we will buy anymore products.
I don’t know if all these new devices will make Alexa users happy, but they all look like a bunch of clunky boxes to me.
I’ll stick with the HomePod. I just bought my sixth HomePod (to become part of my third stereo pair) and I’m quite pleased with the speed and accuracy of Siri setting scenes and controlling things in my home. It took a while to iron out the bugs and snags, but it works great now.
If a decent, HomeKit doorbell would come along I would really be happy.
Amazon taking over the world, the new Google? Interesting.
Boy, at this stage of the game apple better make their own everything because you guys don't want it if it doesn't have an apple logo on it.
Eventually Amazon will fall into the “They need to be broken up.”![]()
Amazon really gets its money back on this multi multi billion dollar investment you know with targeted advertising..

Yes they are not attractive products, but Amazon clearly wants to make its stamp on Smart Homes, at these prices it is not too difficult to have one in every room. Can't really say the same with the HomePod which is too expensive for most people to have one in every room. I fear Apple is losing the home automation battle, its been too slow and too expensive.
I think they learned a big lesson with the last Amazon Fire Phone. It'll be a while before they try that again. Most likely they'll do the smart thing and stick with providing software and content for commoditized phones rather than trying to displace Android or iOS again.I was hoping there'd be a bombshell drop of an Alexa Phone. We could all use some real competition in that space. Oh well. Maybe soon...
No new eReaders... that is an old product line.
Nah, they just need to pay there taxes!
been for months with us. but yes they used to work much better. we have the first alexa's the newest ones a 3 sonos and they all do it.Funny you mention this, a buddy of mine (who's a peer in the technology industry) has been posting about his Alexa devices getting janky for the past several weeks - maybe some sketchy updates?
