Triby Kitchen Speaker.

[renegade600]

I was just reading it now has amazon echo software installed.  seems to me you can make phone calls with it.  I also wonder how it will affect battery life.  I still think it looks like a transistor radio from the 70's.

Tapping into the Amazon Alexa Voice Service, Triby will now act just like an Echo does - you can give it instructions on a various array of tasks including music playback, Wikipedia information and shopping list updates. For a full list of what Amazon Echo can do check out our guide (although be aware that Triby may not be capable of everything Amazon's in house device is).

$199 is a bit expensive for a doodle messenger.

I'd like to try the Voikee, a $19 device with amazon alexa features, and double as a PTT voice messager (http://voikee.com)
