What would you like to see/hear the Amazon Echo do?

My date is February 20th and it has yet to be moved up. Now there is a labor dispute at western ports- that may slow down deliveries even more.

BirdOPrey5, that's next Friday! I haven't heard of anyone getting them late. Fingers crossed for you that it's there next week!

 

[BirdOPrey5]

I paid the $4 extra to get it friday, the 2 day shipping was saying Monday!

 

[Lindy Lee]

I did the same when I got mine. Can't wait to see how you like it. I hope you're as happy with yours as I am with mine.

 

[BirdOPrey5]

I hope so, it's like I'll finally have a friend.

Hey, you have us! Just because we can't stream music for you doesn't mean we don't care.

Hey Lindy, have you noticed any updates with the software since receiving your Echo?

Just got an email, new expected delivery date is Tuesday the 17th!

 

[Lindy Lee]

Bird, that's fantastic! Only 3 days away.

Cr6, it updates automatically I think. I didn't pay much attention to the release numbers but their software on the cloud has had some features like the Simon Says thing added. They also added TuneIn which is nice if you like to listen to worldwide radio stations. It's also gotten more sensitive to commands, or maybe just recognizing my voice better. In the beginning I wasn't always formatting commands so she could understand. It's worth it to run through them before you get it.

I also rely heavily on playlists for my music and have arranged a bunch more. I play a lot of the Prime Playlist because they've added bunches. And many are over 2 hours long.

 

[BirdOPrey5]

Woohoo! Giot the email it shipped today. Happy Valentine's Day, Alexa.

Thank you Lindy!
I listen to TuneIn quite a bit so that's good.

Congrats @BirdOPrey5! Let us know how you like it.

Woohoo, Bird! Great news indeed!

Ugggh! They sent it Fed Ex 2nd Day but I clearly paid $5.99 extra for the overnight shipping, it's on my invoice.
