Here is a decent review the the Echo Show. I like how he points out the good as well as the bad and where it is lacking in functionality. I was amazed to see that the touchscreen does not always utilize touch. That seems odd. And he confirms that you cannot get Netflix, Hulu, etc. on it yet, maybe in the future. It also seemed much bigger than I thought it would be, especially front to back. And no, it is not basically a Fire Tablet glued to an Echo. The functionality of the screen appears to be very limited to Alexa specific tasks and functions. It will certainly be nice to see MR folks giving their reviews, rather than just those from tech sites.



Oh, and that Drop In feature definitely looks creepy and I would not be surprised if it gets hacked by someone before long. Definitely would disable that feature, and maybe put a piece of tape over the camera too!
