Thanks. I see at 00:00:50 he does say it has a 1024 x 600 px resolution, which is exactly what I thought it would likely have. Obviously Amazon has no intention of creating a true HD device. The screen is just for some simple text and I notice in all the reviews that text tends to be extremely large. Meh....

I'm like you, I have no need or desire to have the Show. It is definitely way over priced, very limited in functionality, and seems to be just another of their niche devices. I think it was made for the kitchen more than anywhere else, and that is the absolute last place I would ever place an Echo device. Definitely not for me. Maybe they can add some feature in the future and make it better for more people, but I doubt they will.
