Echo dot portability
« on: February 12, 2017, 09:28:44 am »
Got a Echo dot for Christmas. Good gift but in this age of portability it does not have a battery and the power is very limited. I would have thought the battery thing important and the power both to the speaker and output. Impressive device but needs portability

There is one now - got mine a few days ago and it lasts around 7 hours. It does increase the overall cost, obviously. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N4KJASO/ref=pe_1909131_77697121_tnp_email_TE_AMZLdp_1  . There's one for the Echo too and I've been using that for a while now. I'm very pleased with both.

You need to research the Echo family of products.  There has been a portable version called the Tap that has much better sound than Dot, is stereo and a built-in battery.  Duh.

Depends where you are - no Taps in the UK.

Immigrate to the US.  It's real easy these days!   :(

Hm, Amazon Tap or free NHS health care? Golly, that's close :)

Nothing is free.  Check your tax bill.

Ok, fair enough as I do pay tax. Free at the point of delivery and not dependent on insurance or ability to pay. Nobody gets a bill.
