Amazon talked about it for years and they finally made it happen.



No way in hell I'm getting one. Same reason I never got Alexa nor any of Amazons other home security. they spy on you and use your personal private info to make more sales. I do not like it. Especially when they abuse their human employees so badly every day.

This was created so Bezos can watch you bump uglies with your SO. Maybe they should pay you $1500 and an annual fee for the privileged of watching?

Will it go 'round in circles?

Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

But most importantly of all, will it have boobs?

I wonder if it will be even more buggy than Ed209

Actually, maybe!

"Astro is terrible and will almost certainly throw itself down a flight of stairs if presented the opportunity. The person detection is unreliable at best, making the in-home security proposition laughable," a source who worked on the project said.

At least it doesn't have a gun.

yeay, a roaming microphone linked to the cloud. Maybe if you're away on vacation, it'd be useful. Otherwise should be stowed in a box in the attic, or garage to minimize surveillance.
