I've had the Amazon echo since day 1 and it's been a pretty awesome little device. I'm interested to see what Apple will do with the HomePod and how that will compete with the others.
I read earlier today that Google added Bluetooth speaker functionality to the Home. I haven't tried it yet, I don't really have a need for it since I can play all my music hands free. But it does show how committed Google is to constantly improve the Home device & functionality. Gotta give em kudos for that.
I think it's cool Amazon released the Amazon Show with the video screen. Not quite sure how useful it would be, however if I didn't already own an Echo I would probably go that route. It's not a bad price either.
