I love my Echo, but I'm with tubemonkey - I want some more integrated apps for it. |

Out of the blue today my Echo said "Bluetooth Connected" and it was connected to my laptop. For over a week, the PC and Devices page didn't have bluetooth in the list but now it does. Not sure what changed it, but I'd just downloaded new version of itunes (the last one was terrible and kept freezing), restarted the laptop and that is when she announced it was connected.

I've pretty much decided to cancel. My ship date is still three months away, though, so there's no hurry. |

My sister's first use of my Echo was to ask the meaning of life. Funny response the first time. Very shortened after that.
Honestly beyond the bluetooth speaker use (which I use for the audiobooks), I am listening to a lot more of my music AND I know what day of the week it is far more often than not. If you don't have a daily job or school to go to, or appointments, you'd be amazed how easy it is to forget the day of the week. |

I got my Echo today and I'm very impressed with the quality of sound. She is however very loud so if you live in an apartment you might want to learn quickly how to keep it down. Right now I have her on volume setting 2.
Is there any way to get her play a Genre from your music library? |
