Does anyone own this / alexa and use it for anything other than a glorified bluetooth speaker? I've had an opportunity to interact with one of these at a friend's in the dogfooding program and it's still so far from Jarvis I can't see the appeal. My phone is a much better controller for speakers and the television. (not to mention the privacy concerns of having an internet enabled mic in your home)
I actually ordered one of these, as I tried the Alexa and found it to be useless beyond asking the weather (which is overly verbose) and playing music (best done via the app anyway).<p>There are occasions when I just want to get a quick "Ok,Google" search done, and I'm fairly tied into the rest of the Google ecosystem anyway, so it seemed like it would be worth trying.
