Man, my old smart speakers now look pretty dumb.

After Google and Sonos both announced smarter connected speakers last week, and adding in the 6 new Amazon Echo devices from last week, you might feel some sympathy for the early adopters who now have a confusing mess of hardware that has different skill sets. Kevin Tofel and I were so stymied by what to do, we got online and talked it out. So that you guys might benefit from our thought process, we recorded it. Check it out and let us know what you’re going to do with your old Echoes or what you plan to buy. Also let us know if you’d like to see more unscripted conversations in the future.
