This thing is amazing! I barely used my phone at all in the morning and all through the afternoon as I went about my business. I got sucked in for the evening onwards, but baby steps.
… I’ll need to download more music, and get a bigger SD card. I’ve already played and replayed every single one of them I had loaded onto my Echo Mini these past 2 days.


I remember the push to merged all devices into one. I was resistant then because break 1 thing, they all break. glad we’re coming back to separating the devices again
We are not. A few might use this but not the masses.
I will admit that I foolishly thought it was a good thing, because it reminded me of a tricorder—which I wanted more than anything.
What I like about Tricorders and PADDs is that they’re multi purpose, but not every purpose. They’re designed to be like appliances and need minimal interaction. Our phones require intense attention to use and work with. So I’m 100% with you.
