Geoffrey Fowler Reviews the Amazon Echo

Geoffrey Fowler:

The Amazon Echo has a few good ideas about how voice control might be useful in our homes. But I can’t recommend the Echo to more than the curious. (Amazon makes customers join a waitlist to buy an Echo, and doesn’t let owners post reviews.)

Interesting comparison of trivia question answers, pitting Alexa against Cortana, Siri, and Google Now.
