No new kindles though, shame.Originally Posted by HEXUS
Maybe I am getting old but I don't get the microwave one. I cant see where it significantly saves you time or making it easier to quickly do something.
Me neither. If you need to add more time, you're inspecting / stirring the food and so at the microwave anyway. If it integrated a dot it would make a little more sense as you could have music, alexa and microwave in one unit rather than two but it doesn't.
I have no need to go out to get extra popcorn now...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
I kinda do understand the microwave thing. The controls on pretty much all Chinese microwaves are ridiculous, and the manuals are also rubbish.
"Alexa, microwave a 400 gram jacket potatoe with beans"
(The weight would also be unnecessary if it could weigh the food.)
"OK, let's do just the potatoe for a few minutes! Press start when ready."
"OK, add beans and press Start."
<BONG>
"Your JP is ready!"
(someone knocks at the door)
"Alexa, keep my food hot for 10 minutes"
"OK dave."
etc
Even better if it had a barcode scanner without having to use an app or even voice:
<Scan barcode, throw in microwave>
"Ready in six minutes!"
<BONG>
"Ready!"
Heck, they could call it the Amazon Bong.

I love Amazon, there echo devices are awesome!
I found mine disappointing. It had a novelty value when I bought it but it's unplugged now.
I don't miss it.

I want an Echo toaster then i can have my very own talkie toaster.
The most interesting Amazon devicerubbishfor me, albeit not mentioned here, is the Fire TV Recast. Hopefully a UK version will get released sooner rather than later.

Agreed .... though the ecisting ones, Voyage and the replacement wotsitcalled, are pretty damn good.
I suppose I'd rather them just release a new one when they have some genuinely useful changes or new features, not just to refresh the range.
