I don't think I've ever been less the target audience for an Amazon product. But I bet this will sell a lot. I grew up in a world where you would never even consider taking a picture of yourself to show off how good you looked to your friends. Even now, living in a world of selfie-sticks designed to do exactly that, with a population full of people doing exactly that, the idea makes me cringe inside and imagine what would happen if Jason's High School from the 80's discovered a video of Jason from the 80's using this device. It would have "ruined my life". Interesting to watch the world change. If a bit horrifying.

That's what I'm curious about though. They went through the pain of designing a whole new hardware with a camera on it, and put a nice 200$ price tag on it, but right now, the only use of it is to take pictures of your outfit... Paranoia about privacy aside, there are so much more I could think that an assistant could do if it had eyes, and I'm sure they may very well add those in the future, but right now, even if it was a fantastic product, I still don't see how big of a usebase it can get. Seems very niche.
