[4262.28 --> 4263.62] And your comment was. |
[4265.34 --> 4266.48] Oh, my comment was that |
[4266.48 --> 4268.08] it's for people who don't have a phone. |
[4268.08 --> 4268.64] At all. |
[4268.84 --> 4269.16] At all. |
[4269.62 --> 4271.06] So basically, |
[4271.76 --> 4275.70] it's like it's Google Now or Siri, |
[4275.70 --> 4277.14] except it's a device |
[4277.14 --> 4278.28] that sits on your desk |
[4278.28 --> 4279.38] and plugs into the wall |
[4279.38 --> 4280.32] instead of just being |
[4280.32 --> 4281.48] in your pocket all the time. |
[4281.54 --> 4282.16] You don't move it around. |
[4283.16 --> 4284.94] It's like it's not even battery powered. |
[4285.22 --> 4286.66] So that's why I was thinking |
[4286.66 --> 4287.84] like if you had an old phone |
[4287.84 --> 4288.64] and a speaker dock, |
[4288.76 --> 4290.16] you just create this thing. |
[4290.62 --> 4291.56] So the speaker dock |
[4291.56 --> 4293.00] is because the built-in speakers |
[4293.00 --> 4294.06] on the phone are probably crap |
[4294.06 --> 4295.38] and this is probably better than it. |
[4295.62 --> 4295.74] Yeah. |
[4295.74 --> 4296.46] If you had a speaker dock, |
[4296.54 --> 4297.74] you could easily get speakers |
[4297.74 --> 4299.16] that are way better than this thing. |
[4299.32 --> 4299.60] Okay. |
[4299.70 --> 4300.58] And then just use Google Now. |
[4300.58 --> 4301.62] So let's go through what it does. |
[4301.70 --> 4304.04] It's $200 or $100 if you're on Prime |
[4304.04 --> 4304.90] for a limited time. |
[4305.14 --> 4306.00] And it's a speaker. |
[4306.22 --> 4307.22] So you talk to it |
[4307.22 --> 4307.86] and you say, |
[4308.04 --> 4309.16] what's the keyword? |
[4309.44 --> 4311.44] Like Sirax or something like that? |
[4311.68 --> 4313.38] I thought it was like some chick's name. |
[4313.50 --> 4313.88] Alexa. |
[4314.22 --> 4314.48] Alexa. |
[4314.48 --> 4314.66] Okay. |
[4314.70 --> 4316.44] So you say Alexa to address it. |
[4316.44 --> 4317.66] Sirax, E-fax, Alexa. |
[4317.90 --> 4318.64] They're close. |
[4319.12 --> 4321.60] So information, music, news, weather, |
[4321.68 --> 4323.42] and more instantly |
[4323.42 --> 4325.12] or at least as long as it takes |
[4325.12 --> 4325.76] for you to say, |
[4326.90 --> 4327.30] Alexa, |
[4327.80 --> 4329.00] can you please play some |
[4329.00 --> 4330.08] One Direction for me? |
[4330.20 --> 4331.48] Because that's not faster |
[4331.48 --> 4334.42] than just being like blah, blah, blah |
[4334.42 --> 4335.10] on your phone. |
[4336.70 --> 4338.16] It's controlled by your voice |
[4338.16 --> 4339.26] for hands-free convenience. |
[4339.62 --> 4339.96] Okay. |
[4340.36 --> 4341.10] Voice recognition. |
[4341.24 --> 4342.24] Here's you from across the room. |
[4342.32 --> 4343.76] So far we've got three bullet points |
[4343.76 --> 4344.76] that are all the same thing |
[4344.76 --> 4345.72] as far as I can tell. |
[4345.98 --> 4347.56] And then it's connected to the cloud |
[4347.56 --> 4349.26] so it's always getting smarter. |
[4349.46 --> 4351.02] Now, I do have to say this. |
[4351.14 --> 4351.68] I funded, |
[4351.90 --> 4352.96] I don't know if you remember this, |
[4353.06 --> 4354.42] that stupid robot thing |
[4354.42 --> 4355.54] that I funded on Kickstarter. |
[4355.54 --> 4358.08] Um, I funded that |
[4358.08 --> 4359.98] just because I wanted to get it |
[4359.98 --> 4361.82] and it was going to be like a PSA |
[4361.82 --> 4363.88] about how bloody stupid crowdfunding is. |
[4364.00 --> 4365.18] By the time I ever get it, |
[4365.28 --> 4366.92] that whole message will be dead and gone |
[4366.92 --> 4367.88] just like crowdfunding. |
[4368.26 --> 4371.38] Oh, oh, oh, oh, wrecked. |
[4371.48 --> 4372.90] It'll be like a retro unboxing. |
[4373.06 --> 4375.26] An unboxing of why crowdfunding failed. |
[4376.56 --> 4378.74] Um, if they ever even deliver it. |
[4378.86 --> 4380.28] It'll be like a mini documentary |
[4380.28 --> 4381.18] on why crowdfunding. |
[4381.30 --> 4382.36] So the reason I think |
[4382.36 --> 4383.20] that one's going to fail |
[4383.20 --> 4384.34] is because it's supposed to do |
[4384.34 --> 4386.42] all this stuff interactively with you. |
[4386.46 --> 4387.58] And they're such a small company. |
[4387.72 --> 4389.16] They just don't have the resources |
[4389.16 --> 4389.80] to do it properly. |
[4389.94 --> 4390.70] Amazon might. |
[4391.02 --> 4392.36] So the fact that it's going to continue |
[4392.36 --> 4393.82] to learn as time goes on |
[4393.82 --> 4394.80] might be somewhat useful. |
[4395.30 --> 4397.26] But I just don't see it being |
[4397.26 --> 4398.28] any more useful |
[4398.28 --> 4400.02] than something like Google Now |
[4400.02 --> 4400.92] or Siri, |
[4401.16 --> 4402.86] which are already going to be connected |
[4402.86 --> 4405.46] much, much more tightly |
[4405.46 --> 4407.80] with the rest of your digital life |
[4407.80 --> 4409.36] and the rest of your smart home |
