What do you guys think of the rumor of a touchscreen coming to the Amazon Echo? Personally, I think it’s gonna be a major gimmick like 3D Touch is. I mean, what’s the point? In my opinion, the idea of the Amazon Echo is to talk to it and not have to pull out your phone - why do we need another screen to look at? I don’t want to walk to the counter to the Echo to interact with it.
I was thinking, maybe this is to enhance shopping on Amazon? Perhaps it is so you could see a picture of a product before you order it? But yet still, who is going to sit in front of their Echo to order stuff? If you’re going to do that, you can just sit in front of your computer or phone and do the same.
What do you guys think? (1) Will Amazon add a touchscreen to the Echo, (2) what will they use it for, and (3) do you think it will be of any use?
