E71 Robin Christopherson from The Dot to Dot Podcast talks Amazon Alexa and the smart speaker market

On the day we publish this episode, some of the Amazon Echo products, with their Alexa voice assistant, went on sale in New Zealand and Australia. While Australia has had Google Home for some time. Amazon Echo is the first smart speaker to be available in the New Zealand market officially. The popular Echo range has around 80% of the US smart speaker market. It’s useful, and just plain fun to use. Jonathan Mosen speaks with Robin Christopherson, host of The Dot to Dot podcast, a podcast devoted to all things Alexa. He describes the Echo range, what you can do with the products, and what the future might hold for this growing market.
