Tipster Susan H shouldn’t have been doubted… as a small number of lucky folks did indeed receive Echo Auto invites. And orders have started arriving! Not much yet in the way of commentary, but Tod Kuntzelman has posted some nice pictures while we await more well-formed initial thoughts, including the requisite Roav Viva comparisons — given experiences with other Alexa-powered devices, I assume going native Amazon vs 3rd party hardware will reap significant rewards. Sadly, I wasn’t amongst the first wave of invitees and continue to pine away.
