Some gaps in this analysis: 1. Amazon is offering a lot of devices, but it can also lead to fragmentation of user experience. The article is already touting new Echo as good for music, Echo Show for TV, Echo Connect for communications etc. So now a user is supposed to buy all those devices? Isn't a single powerful device better than having multiple ones attacking different use cases[a]? 2. Not a single mention of "Search" - Google Home handily beats Amazon Echo there due to integration with Google Assistant. And I believe "general purpose search" would be a major category of usage of such devices. [a] Unless the strategy is to throw the kitchen sink at home devices and see what sticks.
