I'm still having fun with her. She reads audiobooks to me from my paired iPad. And slowly, Alexa's functionality is increasing. If you have the money to set it up, she can now control the lights in your house. And just today I got an email letting me know I can link her with my Google Calendar through the Echo app. Unfortunately, she has yet to learn of any of my upcoming appointments. That may due to be my phone's slow performance. The wife is asleep now, so I'll check again in the morning.

I think the reason the Echo is only available by invitation is that we're all beta testers. We're finding the bugs and testing her potential. Once she's up to speed, there will be a big announcement and a big push on the main Amazon site.
