Yup, price point is solved for the "just timers and some music" people, but now you're stuck in Amazon's orbit.
- ghaff 4y agoThat's a pretty weak orbit though if that's all I'm using it for. (I do use mine for music sometimes but it's actually connected to Apple Music.) I could switch to a different assistant tomorrow if I wanted to. I've literally never ordered anything by voice--and can't really see doing so.

EDIT: other point I forgot - original article says they're bleeding money, so clearly $25 isn't sustainable right now anyways.
