Cremnob thinks this will be an audiophile speaker. Cremnob is wrong, but I think it's safe to predict it'll crush the smart speaker market.

The Echo is a dogshit speaker. Amazon has no ecosystem to speak of. Assuming the Siri implementation is HomePod specific, it's hard to see what the Echoes have over the HomePod except for price. And we all know how that goes with Apple products.

Amazon has Echos, Fire Tablets, Fire TVs, Prime Video, Prime Audio, and many smart home devices support Echo. They also publish apps on every major mobile and desktop OS. They absolutely have an ecosystem.
All of those things are trash and most of those things no one uses.

How the gently caress do I get this thing to play radio stations? Is that really not a feature?

I can just say "hey siri, play news 1130" for the local AM news and it figures it out

Usually the radio station will say the keywords to ask for on air or maybe on their website etc (station ID might work too?)
Sometimes this works and other times it's like "Sorry, I couldn't find news 1130 in your music"
