Geared Up: What's the point of the Echo Look? Plus, hands-on with the Galaxy S8

from GeekWire · host GeekWire

Amazon unveiled a puzzling new device this week: The Echo Look, an Alexa-powered speaker that comes with a camera and lighting. It's marketed as a fashion device, but Todd and Andru aren't buying it —  in more ways than one. Plus, equally puzzling news about new projects from Twitter and Apple, and we finally get a hands-on look at the new Samsung Galaxy S8.  Follow all our coverage at GeekWire.com and subscribe to our live behind-the-scenes video on GearLive.
