I don't consider it a cool device per say. It does have a beautiful design, but its key features are great sound and voice command.
By way of background, I used to be very into stereo systems and had high end components. Now my idea of a stereo system is a streaming radio device plugged into a pair of powered speakers. So depending on my location, it's either my PC plugged into a pair of desktop speakers or a mobile device plugged into the same speakers or a smaller one. Now I gravitate to the Echo more and more.
The beauty of the Echo is that it's a self-contained stereo system - speakers and streaming radio player wrapped into one beautiful package; and portable enough to take from room to room.
The Echo is my stereo system.
