Hi Paul
To update your report on the Amazon Echo Dot which was demonstrated, it
costs about 48⬠and not 4⬠I'm afraid but a small typo in the report.
Regarding the Unlimited Music Service Amazon claims they have 40 million
songs on their catalogues. Following on from a query this morning, I
checked that the Echo Dot can connect to a bluetooth device.
Best Regards
John
