Also if you live in the States there is something called Amazon Tap too, cant get it in the UK yet so dont know a huge amount about it but it seems to be a speaker for Alexa.

The Tap is, unfortunately, discontinued according to the Amazon product page. It looks like they found a box of them in a warehouse somewhere as there are a few new ones still listed now, but when I was looking for a device a couple of weeks ago, only refurbished models were available. I’ve been really happy with my refurb Tap, but unfortunately since the product is discontinued/abandoned, it’s doubtful there will be any further software updates.

The Tap. The only NON passive listening device Amazon offered. Took it off the market because it didn’t have passive listening enabled by default.

> Plus, that means it isn’t a portable bluetooth speaker anymore, it’s a portable wifi/bluetooth speaker. I’m not 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure we’re talking about a massive difference in battery life.
It’s not like /u/you_are_breathing is asking for ground-breaking tech. The article mentions a competitor to the Echo Dot and /u/you_are_breathing said it’d be nice to have a competitor to the Amazon Tap. Personally I don’t see a use for the Tap but that’s just me.

From the Music Freedom Questions section the answer is no. I haven’t checked in a long time to see if that’s actually the case though.
The Echo is also a regular old bluetooth speaker, so she could still use a phone that way. Just might not be able to hotspot it for music freedom for a direct connection from the echo to other music apps.
>Music Freedom provides unlimited music streaming on your device while on our network. Streaming music via a Smartphone Mobile Hotspot (tethering) will count against your 4G LTE data and is not covered by this offer.
This looks cheaper if she’s just gonna bluetooth

Very happy.
Amazon Tap $69.00
Neck Strap for DSLR Camera $13.49
<em>Wareheouse Deal 20% Off</em> Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens $245.10
And my jackpot, after almost buying the last 2016 Razer Blade, I discovered this. Current price is $1799.00. Granted this is a warehouse item, but I suspect that just means it was opened and maybe briefly used, it says it will be repackaged, not sure if that means by MSI or in aftermarket packaging, ETA 7/19
