Amazon is going to sell a lot of this..

Amazon's ECHO appears to do a lot of things for its size, besides providing music. It is desk bound Cortana and Siri and other similar wonder woman voice assistants and probably fortified by AI (artificial intelligence based). Looking at the price ($179.99), it appears to be very affordable.

This is how Amazon describes,

·         Information, music, audiobooks, news, weather, traffic, sports, and more--instantly

·         Controlled by your voice for hands-free convenience

·         Far-field voice recognition hears you from across the room

·         Connected to the cloud so it's always getting smarter

·         360º omni-directional audio to fill the room with immersive sound

·         Compatible with Belkin WeMo and Philips Hue connected devices to control lights and switches with your voice

·         Plays music from Amazon Music, Prime Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more

 The device is not big and sit on your table or kitchen counter top. It has tweeters and woofers and perhaps the sound quality is reasonable.
