OMG It's a REAL thing?!
I liked the one by @maatc better. It seemed more like a Siri upgrade....with attitude and typical 'web knowledge' (not real knowledge).

For reference this is the original


and why would anyone want something like this.

"Upgrade"???

They've taken a useful device that millions of people already own... stripped it of a screen, a camera, gps... made it non-portable....

sorry, what is the point of it again?

All that, given it attitude, and removed the fact checking. Now it's like a REAL 'friend'! It could only be better if it chimed in when not being addressed.

Ideally, it would also comment on your shitty taste in books, music and movies too.

Actually now I think I want one...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Love this. The original device is pretty cool. I know it's all pretty much available through OK Google or Siri, but it's another incremental step. The voice synth is superior to both IMO.
