Ah that's clear now.
Thanks Steve and Jackie again.

It is also worth adding the Skill RadioPlayer as this offers more UK stations.
The website is so much more friendly than the app, it has made a huge
difference. I have also connected it to my iPhone as a Bluetooth speaker, it's
not bad. Obviously the Echo itself has more clout as a speaker, but I'm not
sure it's worth the extra £100. This is of course subjective though.

Hi Tony,
Not only usable from a laptop, but the webpage for it,
http://alexa.amazon.co.uk, works as well as or better than the smartphone apps.
I've only tried my Dot once away from home, on a public Wi-Fi system, and I
couldn't connect to it. I was in a rush so maybe I was doing it wrong.
Alexa is built into the Dot. The whole point is there is no screen, so Alexa is
the way the Dot communicates with you.
The Dot comes with TuneIn radio. I don't know how many stations that gives you
access to, but their website, http://tunein.com/, should tell you.

Subject: [access-uk] The Echo/Dot
Hi folk,
Thanks for the interesting and sometimes even amusing LOL posts here recently.
I don't have a smart phone but only a laptop and a netbook so I wonder are the
Echo and Dot usable with them?
I wonder also as I have mobile broadband does the Echo/Dot work anywhere as
long as I have my wi Fi enabledor say if out and about using other Wi FI?
Finally do I need to download Alexa or is it there by default and using the
Echo or Dot have I then accessx to internet radio?
Best,
Tony Sweeney.?
