Amazon's 'Echo Show' Is A Tablet With A Stand You Do Not Need

Amazon's new product, the Echo Show, hit the tech blogs with a thud today -- the $229.99 block of plastic looks like a less friendly Chumby that can do more things. The biggest selling point is a video call element that (if the video below is anything to go by) looks about a billion times clearer than any video call I have ever seen. In short, I can't wait to see this puppy in the wild and read the reviews, because I am not sold. I am sold that people have less time and like to multi-task. As a non-parent who knows lots of parents, this device would certainly help them, but the rest of the world?
