First impressions of the Amazon Tap

2016-04-01
this is the Amazon tap it has all of the same powers as its big sister the Amazon echo but it's smaller cheaper and battery power the tap is a hundred and thirty dollars so the echo is 108 just like with the echo you can use the tap as a Bluetooth speaker a Wi-Fi streamer it can be a personal assistant a smart home control hub or you can just use it for fun and the trigger for the battery-powered tap is that it's not always listening like the echo anytime you want to talk to it you have to hit this button even when it's time it's charging stations I still sometimes find myself calling this thing Alexa which is the echos wake word even though this one doesn't have one on its own you hit a button you don't need a wake word so it's less useful as a smart home hub since it's not always listening and you need to keep it with as a compact bluetooth speaker in its own right it's pretty good it's just not great you're gonna hear voices clearly which is nice but the base is a little bit thin and it's going to distort at high volumes
