Amazon keeps coming out with products that are already on the market and then act like it's new and innovative. They haven't made anything innovative since the original kindle.

 

[GAMETHEORY]

they should come up with a software that beats TURN IT IN....

I just finished my last semester so I don't care anymore but It'll be useful to somebody.

what product on the market is similar to this tho?

if it works the way they say it does...there is no home product like it

 

[Deezz]

At first I was gonna clown this, but it's actually pretty cool.

Looks like it will be $200 bucks. It it were $100, I'd get one.

its $100 if youre prime member which everyone needs to be

If someone had Siri, why would they need this?

 

[The Jamaican]

It does nothing different than the voice assistant on your phone. I have a windows phone and it does every single one of those things.

The difference with this is that it stays in a central place and is voice activated.

You know what will be the next ground breaking device? Echo mobile. The exact thing your phone does now.

 

[Flawless]

not worth it, ios 8 has the hey siri feature and I believe android has something similar

 

[The Jamaican]

It would have a market among the less tech savy and the elderly though.

So you can tell siri to play a song and it plays?

nah bro

plus this is always on and you dont have to locate your phone or wait for someone to get off their phone to do similar things

if the speakers sound good...this shit is going to sell bro

 

[Complex]

I think it's dope

Not sure how the music sounds though...I'd wonder how the speaker quality is

 

[EPDC]

If it were shaped like R2-D2 or C3-PO, I'd get one for novelty's sake....but I can do all this already by simply saying "OK Google...."

 

[LSN]

they should make a fleshlight edition

I bet you get one for each room

 

[Solomon]

We are getting dumber thanks to "Smart" devices. Half of us already don't know how to spell and rely heavily on spell check. Now there will be no need to learn to convert units of measurements. I bet over 90% of people don't even remember important telephone numbers anymore (even I'm guilty of this one). We are living the movie Idiocracy.

 

[john blackcorn]

so it does what siri can do,minus a touch screen and portability?

another pointless device. unless your blind

youre just going to leave out the big ass speaker with the deep base right

people are already paying $200 plus for the Beats pill and its just a speaker

plus it can do things Siri cannot do

 

[8/11Streetz]

that shit useless and annoying

 

[durham]

so willing to give your location, and daily activity usage data. Fuck that personal space intrusion shit. kids using the cloud for spelling tests now?

you do that shit every time you use your cellphone bro

 

[brickwall92]

[sumofyallniggasisbitches2]

I'll probably snatch one up. I already requested my invite....

yes you can tell siri to play songs, IOS has a feature called hey siri, as long as your phone is plugged in you can activate siri just by saying "hey Siri" without ever touching your phone

 

[LSN]

there was a time when I never even fathomed ordering anything online...now I'm ordering shit every other week...I became a prime member mainly bcuz of instant video...but the free 2-day shipping has been a huge added bonus...if they still do the trial run then you can just create some dummy email accounts and sign up every month...you can still use the same credit card/address for each account too w/o raising any red flags...I did it for close to a year before I said fuck it and decided to join...I don't think I'll rejoin tho when my shit is up...its a good service but not a "must" imo

I get that...you can always do that with google phones by saying hi google

the point im making is that this is a speaker that does all of that and more

a speaker!

people are paying $200 plus for the beats pill and it doesnt do shit and it doesnt sound all that great

now you have this with the google now/siri functions and its pretty damn cool

you can easily use the phone connected to a quality bluetooth speaker of your choice and it would still be cheaper

how would it be cheaper

iphones cost $600 and its tiny speaker shouldnt compare at all

this cost $99

plus what if someone is on the phone or if theyre gone?

if the speaker is legit, this shit is going to sell

 

[Amajorfucup]

they should make a fleshlight edition

 

[An RnB Thug]

It's $199 but $99 for Prime Members
might give this a whirl....
