Strange that Amazon went all in on the "check out my fashion selfie" concept instead of the other 100+ opportunities a camera can afford.

@thejfkshow I thought the same thing. It also looks like they skimped on the speaker quality.

@thejfkshow A camera and a small built in projector to display on the wall and hand gestures to navigate. Would have been really innovative.

@thejfkshow Not that strange if you're approaching what to solve starting with the question "wtf do we sell a crap ton of, that is hard as nuts to sell without having more context other than just voice/sound?" (answer: clothes) follow up question : "okay, what do we need to get people to buy more of that stuff using Alexa?". (answer: camera).
My guess is they'll integrate their firefly tech (image recognition) so you can start holding objects up to the camera, and alexa will immediately identify and of course, offer the opportunity to order.

@thejfkshow Agreed: https://twitter.com/lukew/status...
At least they're trying to solve a real problem (easily buying good fitting clothes online) — I still go to bricks and mortar.

@thejfkshow Exactly. This is being super niche. But then, this also provide a test bed for their future camera products I guess.
