Yes, also, it's battery powered (where the Echo is not), so you can move it
around with you. It also has buttons for volume and moving between songs,
where the Echo has drawn some criticism for it not being able to hear you
shouting at it to turn down the volume when its playing music too loud. Still,
if you love your Echo you can buy a battery-powered remote fob which lets you
press a button and talk to the fob rather than shout at the Echo.

Yes it is a little cheaper not much though. What is interesting is the Amazon
Echo Dot. As this will do everything the Echo will do and let you hook to a
speaker system.
So for example you could hook it to your Home stereo system and have it come
out thru the speakers or to a mixing board and have it come out the speakers
and even control zones it would play in
I have the Echo and really love it! Lots of reason to get one!

Just thought I'd pass on the below, for those who may have been interested in
the Amazon Echo, but found it too pricey:

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are having a great April weekend wherever you are.
We just wanted to take this time and share the latest Mystic Access podcast.
This one is demonstrating the new Amazon Tap Bluetooth/WIFI enabled speaker.
You can find the show notes and link to the audio below:
In this episode Chris demonstrates the new Amazon Tap. The Amazon Tap is a
Bluetooth and WIFI enabled speaker. The Tap uses the Alexa voice service and
can do the same things that can be done with the original Amazon Echo. You
can listen to music, use Alexa skills, and read Audible books. Chris and Kim
touch on the Echo Dot as well as discuss the relevance of the Mystic Access
Echo Tutorial with the introduction of these new devices.
