    Good product the only 2 drawbacks that I find are 1. Could have been more interactive with a continuous conversation. 2. Music should work without Amazon Music.

    It is cool and works well, however I find it sort of stupid that you have to activate each specific skill that you want to use before it will register what your asking.
