I nabbed one when they were available as a refurb for $30 back in July, figuring that it made it across the line into impulse buy territory.
I haven’t been disappointed. I have it wake me every morning, and immediate ask it, “What’s up?” to get a news brief. Then put on some music while I get ready for work. Overall, I’ve been super pleased with its capability. It is hands down $30 worth of cool.
There is a little part of me that is waiting for the other shoe to drop, though. Maybe it becomes known that every single one has a government backdoor? Or worse, advertisers get the ability to tap into it directly. Lord knows where that would end, in terms of seeing what’s in your advertising profile.
