Amazon Said to Plan Premium Alexa Speaker with Large Screen
- zitterbewegung 10y agoI wonder how they are going to adapt the API for screens ? Maybe expand the card API ?
- payne92 10y agoThat's my guess. If you check out the Alexa that's built into the current gen Fire TV stick, you can see how they are already offering visual responses to go with the audio.
- Yhippa 10y agoThat is a good idea. Would be nice if there was some kind of gesture tracking so you didn't need a controller and virtually swipe things away. I've been watching too much Black Mirror BTW.
- dwyerm 10y agoI am super excited about this, but I'd be very cautious about expectations. I've already gotten torn up in social media for trying to explain how an ambient information display is a Good Thing (think a clock or a calendar or a thermometer), without being something you necessarily interact with. The second someone asks, "Why don't I just get a tablet, then?" you know they've missed it. They need to build a Chumby, not an iPad... but if the market is expecting an iPad, they're going to be sorely disappointed. ...and if the market is disappointed, then I'm going to miss out on a great replacement for my long-in-the-tooth Chumby8.
