This allows Alexa access outside the markets where the Echo, Dot, and Tap are sold.
The design is Tap-like in that it requires pushing a button to activate the microphone but the build cost is significantly lower than even the Dot. (~US$50, maybe less.) And not much of a handicap for audiobook playback or Kindle ebook TTS.
Given the flexibility of the Raspberries and the ingenuity of the hackers interesting things will be forthcoming. |
Interesting.
This means that they want Alexa to be an ecosystem and not strictly a product.
