I'm thinking of buying one of these and the review linked to here was
certainly both a good read and an eye opener.
I've contacted a store on eBay which has these units in stock to see if
the procedures outlined in the review for setup are the same or whether
updates have been applied to the firmware to make the Echo more location
friendly, certainly its a plus to be able to order the box locally
rahter than import it from the U.S. as the Australian reviewer had to do.
Anyway have a read and see what you think.
Perhaps someone in the U.K. has an Amazon Echo and can tell us how they
went with it.
Or perhaps its native U.S. users might be able to fill us in too!
