Amazon Echo - big brother or big opportunity

[healthstatus]

if you haven't seen it: http://www.amazon.com/echo

I assume at some point they will have an API for this so you can tap in and add to its features or collect data from it, Amazon is fairly smart about those things.

On one side, you have now given Amazon a microphone into your house. It will hear what you watch on TV, your conversations, what teams you cheer for when watching a game, and .......

On the other side you have a voice activated Internet access tool that does some pretty handy stuff, and hopefully will have apps that you can add to it. This is where the opportunity lies.

Any thoughts?
