....but not Google, Apple, and Samsung. https://t.co/VQ6EHVl99P
This is a massively aggressive move by Amazon - basically welcoming every also-ran voice assistant onto its hardware to create scale against Google and Apple https://t.co/a382XJPLJO

Good to see Amazon doing this, but without Apple and Google then it feels like not much is going to change https://t.co/VduwZCkBLX
