@Rizla. You could be correct, but it seems to me that Amazon is not the type of company that sits back and waits for its competitors to act. I think that when the Tech is ready Amazon will release it and set the trend. I am not aware of any competing tech at the moment so it could give Amazon an edge for some time if it does prove popular.
The recent story about the development of the Echo indicated that there was some delay during the development of the product because Jeff Bezos was a perfectionist. in particular he insisted on only a one second latency for Alexa where most devices on the market had a latency of 4 seconds or more. His own team was aiming at 2 secs but apparently he insisted on 1. I suspect that something similar may be happening with the Liquivista technology, though it is certainly possible that there are difficulties and it is just not ready.
