Echo Show 5 is on sale for $65...and they offer a 'payment plan' they spread the cost over 6 months. You pay some 'up fronts' (tax, weird California recycling fee, and first payment. It was around $25) then they bill your card $13 a month for the next 5 months.
It's a generous offer, it's clear they really want to get these things in peoples hands. I was totally unaware of this product until I came across this, and honestly, it's potentially the answer to a few of my problems. I ordered one, It'll be here tomorrow, if anyone is interested I will share my impressions.
For those who haven't heard about this thing, it's basically an Alexa device: a speaker/streamer with a 5 in touchscreen .
so for example I listen to a lot of podcasts on Spotify. Instead of playing it on my phone and pairing my phone with a bluetooth speaker, I can just say "Echo. play podcast, The Dollop" and I'm good to go. It's a smartphone/boombox/alarm clock/skype thing? The price seems reasonable, I did a little bit of research and there are similar products out there, but they all cost a lot more, there isn't anything as cool as this for under $100.
