Some Guy@ghobs91 · Head Of Winging It, Denarri
Maybe I'm not getting it, by why would someone pay $199/$99 for a standalone device that does something that Android/iOS/Windows Phone do already?

@ghobs91 because for the ones you mentioned, you need to get them out of your pocked and press the button.

@Nivo0o0 IDK about other Android phones, but my Moto X responds to a keyphrase without me even touching it. I know that Siri does the same now if it's plugged in charging. The use case for this device suggests that it's meant for when you're home or at the office, in which case your phone is not likely to be in your pocket.

@ghobs91 it's also not likely to be plugged in. They priced it correctly where it's not and either this or Siri type of decision.

@ghobs91 I basically do what this device does every morning with my phone and a bluetooth speaker. Srsly though, I'd buy this. $99 is less than I paid for the speaker - and - I don't have to fool with pairing issues every other day.
