I’m following the Verge’s live blog for the Alexa event. Amazon really should be leading in this space since they created the Echo out of nothing 10 years ago. Fun to re-read my first blog post about the Echo.

Alexa+ will be a paid upgrade. Tim Cook is now wondering how he can charge for Siri too.

@manton I cannot imagine anyone paying for Siri, not unless it gets a lot better and more useful. Apple definitely seems to be going in some strange directions lately, guess we'll see where they go with this.
