Amazon Echo Show review

[oohmdy]

Did he just cut a donut into 4 slices ....

[charlestsai]

A echo show is like slicing donuts, totally unnecessary.

The drop in feature would be awesome for connecting with the elderly with emerging dementia! Folks with aging parents might find this a godsend. I'll have to check this out.

The drop in feature is prefect for taking care of grandparents.

People keep using the word "creepy" to describe the drop in function but they are misunderstanding it's purpose. Show was also designed to be an in home video intercom system. The drop in feature makes it so you can access a room with out having to have a person answer or to peek at a wireless camera like ring, or arlo. I own 4 echo shows 1 in the kitchen, master bedroom, and both my kids bedrooms. We can now use drop in to call them downstairs for dinner, or to get there attention without having to scream at the top of your lungs., or send a text or call to them in our own house. In the Alexa app there is a choice to only allow drop in for your own house hold but it can also be used by relatives to check on a elderly parent etc. I think it's working excellent so far, my kids can listen to all the music they want and watch YouTube and we get to have a simple effective futuristic space intercom system in our fully automated smart home. WIN WIN...

I’ve bought one of these in a sale and I have to say it’s the best model of amazon echo out there. I’ve pretty much got them all and this one is the best so far. The camera a bit pointless, I’ve never used it. Great product.

This would be a cool device for the Deaf if the camera could be programmed to interpret sign language

[parazels]

This thing will become really interesting when it gets AI that can totally simulate a real person. Something like a virtual head on the display.

This was a super interesting review. I loved the conversation/demonstration between Dieter and Dan.

The drop in would be great for checking on your house or on an elderly parent etc

[barbaramcfarland]

Just got mine and so far I really like it. I am looking forward to more apps being developed for this device. BTW, when you gave your Alexa commands, mine responded. The chocolate chip cookie recipes looked great!

[NinjaeditS]

Looks pretty cool. Its definetely the start of something that will be the norm in the future! Digital home assistants.

Amazon, bring back 1990 with landlines.

[Christian]

Don't watch this with your echo in the same room. It triggered mine like 6 times during the video 😂

[tbrdoescinema]

The sheer amount of Trek references in this video makes me happy. I’ll stick with my Dot, but it’s cool.

[Mcabdriq]

cool ...does it work in CAR with hot spot or bluetooth ...??

To all those haters that are like WHY.... We use Alexa, echo Dot and the show. This is useful if you are already using the other devices. We have them in kids rooms, (alarms that I manage remotely, stories, music), we have it in the kitchen, in the office, basement... It makes it very easy to communicate around the house, and also spy on your kids while say you have you hands covered in raw meat cooking dinner and your 5 year old is trying to sneak watch YouTube Minecraft with ak47 videos because he knows your cooking. But the show is awesome because now I can SEE the kids not just hear them. Security camera in babies room? I can not only watch from my show, but if there's a baby sitter I can drop in from my phone and see what's going on. The thing is cheaper than most video baby monitors and its high def (most baby monitors are not) and I can tap into it from anywhere. Just that alone makes it worth it. Why not an iPad? Simple.. I can't intercom by voice with iPad, I can't tell it to place music from the other side of the house, I can't control my lights or thermostat. You may say sure, who really needs that, but once you have it there's no going back. And a bonus, these things are made pretty solid. I keep one in our camper and I forgot about it one trip and it fell off the cabinet and rolled around for two hrs during travel and there's nothing wrong with it! Do that with an iPad! I was looking for more info on the more advanced features in this video, like home thermometer controls and camera sync, possibly additional features I may not be aware of because we use this soo much!... moving on to other vids.

0:39 how did those artifacts make it through to production?

[Byte_J]

Know who could care less about the new Echo? Your cat.

[brycejn]

Why do I remember that the first song in this video was also used in the video where TheVerge went to Google to get a hands-on and interview of the Nexus 4/Nexus 10.
