This seems pretty cool! Apparently, Amazon has been working with developers to port the Amazon Echo's voice assistant, Alexa, to other devices. Here's one of the first to do that. It's called the Triby, and as you can see in the video, it has a number of handy features! Here's a brief breakdown:
- Use the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, get the news, set alarms, control smart home devices, and more using just your voice. Just say the wake word "Alexa" and Triby responds instantly.
- Experience awesome sound quality thanks to Triby's In Vivo Acoustic ® technology
- Preset Internet radio stations and Spotify playlists for one-button access
- Make calls over VoIP or with a paired smartphone from 15 feet away
- Draw and share doodles and texts from your smartphone to Triby's alway-on display
- Stick Triby to the fridge with its magnetized back
- Enjoy up to 2 days of battery life. Charge with micro USB.
- Required free Triby companion app available on iOS (iOS8 and above) & Android
