This could be the safer version for Nick and BM, the official Star Trek phaser remote control, scanned from the last remaining intact prop from the original series. (come on, given Nick's love of Star Trek do you really think he'll be able to resist getting one) lol:
Arm yourself with the ultimate Star Trek prop replica collectable Control your TV, iPod & other gadgets with multiple gestures Painstakingly highly-detailed and accurate to the original 3D scanned from the last remaining Phaser prop in existence Lovingly hand-polished die-cast metal parts Officially licensed by CBS Detachable Type I Phaser unit Plays a wide range of original series Phaser and Star Trek sounds
And most importantly for those two

I presume the issue is the teeny-tiny (320mAh) lithium battery.... ::)
Fuck Amazon, I have ordered it (cheaper) from an ebay seller in Chermany..... cloud9:
[serious] so what do you want a smart watch to do for you? I don't want a watch I can talk to or that then tells me the weather or lets me google search - and that's how they advertise it. But one that tells me when I have an important email or appointment due could be very useful.
[less serious] now we have a "fuck Amazon" policy is the link on the page going to change to an eBay link?

Well....
To be honest, I've always had a 'thing' about watches and have quite a collection....
...this one allows me to have a different watch (face) every day if I want.... Some of them are beautiful.... Plus, I hope that I can make a face (you can create your own) that allows me to see the time and date without squinting as I have to with my Seiko Kinetic....
So, it looks to be a very attractive and flexible watch for me first and foremost...
In addition, I've quite got into 'OK Google' thing and find it quite useful - see also, setting reminders and setting the alarm, etc.
And lastly, as you say you can be informed of important e-mails - you can set filters so that you don't get informed every time somebody posts a picture of their breakfast on Faceache or anything like that...
...it clearly is Version 1.0 of the software (and phone) and I don't doubt that more powerful models will be available in time but I am excited about having this one now....

Ta, will be interested to see how you get on with it. The early smart watches of years by were clearly bollocks but these seem to be a real deal by linking them to the phone.
Problem is I really like contemporary style watches. One I've had over 40 years and still works fine but then I like gadgets too.

No! Banghead Banghead Banghead
Order processing was delayed because the ebay computers went haywire.... they (ebay) sent me a lovely e-mail saying they blamed the robots - I was not impressed... evil:
So, the supplier posted it quickly on the 1st April ( evil:) and it left Chermany on the 4th - arriving in Cyprus on the 7th....
It finally became 'Ready for pickup' today at 13:30...
BUT ready for pickup (The recipient has been informed) means that is has arrived at Limassol post office - they will have sent a message to the village post office telling me that I have a parcel there...
SO I won't get that notice for a couple of days or more....
AND it is Greaster this weekend so everything is shut down until next Wednesday...
SO the watch I originally ordered from Amazon on the 19th March won't be in my hands (or on my wrist) until the 16th or 17th of May! cussing:

But voice input systems are in my experience way too often more error prone, slower and take more effort than virtual button/keyboard driven ones. They have their place yes but a very narrow one, fighter pilots being an example where they work but then again only for some functions.

1) Download a dodgy 'apk' and risk having my Amazon account raped by a scammer. 2) Send the bastard back.
Frustratingly, I could have got LL to download the App on her phone while she was in the UK, back it up here and then restore it to mine... facepalm:
What's the issue? Just ask Alexa how to sort it.

How about some friendly person downloads the APK file and puts it on a file sharing site?
Or can you download it from here? http://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.amazon.dee.app/ (http://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.amazon.dee.app/)

Yes, there are several sites like apkmonk... in fact I actually downloaded it from there yesterday but had my doubts about it... scared2:
The problem is that I can't find any such site that has loads of reviews of it that would give me confidence that it is actually pukka... rubschin:

You mean you could think you've downloaded Alexa and instead got some dodgy Nigerian bloke scamming

Indeed!
The problem is that the first thing the app does is ask for your Amazon account name and password... not sure I want to risk giving that away to an 'unknown source'. As i said, if any of those sites had user reviews (even though a spam site would be likely to leave 'don't download this, a dodgy Nigerian bloke raped my Amazon account' on the list), I'd be happier... rubschin:

Somehow the volume button on the remote seems less effort, a lot less
Depends where you are in relation to the remote of course... whistle:
And IF you can find it
I detest voice input systems, as an avionics designer my bosses were always trying to get me to embellish proposals with how we'd add voice input and I'd pretend to humour them. For simple commands it only works better than a button in very niche circumstances and it becomes a toy rather than a tool. Imagine trying to fly your quadcopter with voice.

It is easier to ask it to increase the volume than find the remote or the appropriate ap on my phone or walk to the HiFi and twiddle the knob... It just really is.
I just asked it to play 'Revolution by the Beatles' and it is now playing... Much easier than finding the track on an ap or PC...

Ah now we understand. You bought a cheap phone without those up down buttons on the side
My £4 bluetooth speaker has same linked by bluetooth to sync volume with the phone
But yes IF you want a particular track or the remote is hidden under a pile of lego bricks (or jammed by bread crumbs) then voice I/O has a place. I just pick an album or music theme and let it play.

So after tests I declare that Fire Stick Alexa is effin useless. Mostly she says something like "what?" but occasionally does mishear. "Play the Beatles" interpreted as "I've selected this music for you (Creedence Clearwater Revival) " ::)

How strange, she gets 3,000+ five star reviews on Amazon...? rubschin:
Quote from: An Amazon Reviewer
Great quality and works very well. I already had a Prime subscription so the inclusion of all the videos and music is a real bonus. The Alexa voice recognition is amazing, you can even pell out the tricky words. No more fumbling around trying to find movies or series. I plug it straight into my AV amp HDMI input, and it works perfectly, giving me perfect 4K when available and full surround sound. The sound quality from this thing is brilliant. Like Google, I think Amazon own brand products are spot on.
Anyhoo, I'm still well impressed with the Google Home and Google Play Music combo, we spent all last night playing music and drinking collapso... Everything from pop, rock, classical, shows, opera, even classical guitar, "Play Asturias by John Williams", she was spot on with everything... Thumbs:
Miss A (a huge Apple fanboy) was rather upset on Sunday when Google out-performed Siri...

Siri: Arsenal facepalm: Google: Sunderland
Who was their manager? Siri: shrugs: Google: Bob Stokoe
And the answer to the inevitable question, "Hey Google, who is better, you or Siri?"
Google: Siri is a very good Siri and I am a very good Google! lol:

Here's a tip (you've prolly already sussed): if you have a dashcam take it with you (+ loads of memory cards) Helps if some local runs into you and we just had fun fast forwarding of us driving over the bridge, round Sydney, Centennial Park etc etc. Most of the coverage is just boring highway and town driving but then you get those moments that are brilliant
If only I'd taken loads of cards and changed them often. All the Blue Mountain driving was written over Banghead

The Sony has optical image stabilisation which works at 4K and roduces impressive results... but the GoPro is waterproof and as you say, substantially cheaper (although I've spunked moar cash away on a second battery and a zillionteen mounts...
Good call on the dash cam, I was going to use the GoPro but it would be simpler to have one on the screen all the time - mine has a 32Gbyte card in it and lasts ages...
I'm also taking a 1Tb USB disc with me that I can dump photos and videos onto...

32 Gbyte lasts just under 6 hours of HD recording in mine. I was stunned how good the results were.

J is happily marrried but is nuts. She got it into her head to enter Robot Wars so built a monstrosity that scared the living shite out of me. The weapons she put into the bloody thing would have had DARPA drooling. Fortunately none of them were allowed under the rules although it would have been interesting seeing the house robots go head to head with the rocket propelled harpoon.

Considering how cheap the pair of them were if I could have been bothered with the hassle of getting it up the stairs into my place I'd have bought one.

Amazing stuff! worthy:
rubschin: solution looking for a problem? Well not if your name is Roxanne of course (free earworm)
We can change the colour of our living room ceiling light panel from slightly blue round to slightly yellow and we always leave it on full white and then the cats press the remote and eff it up
Have you considered that the cats are trying to tell you something? whistle:

They announced it as CES so I don't think it's all that far away from launching, Q2 maybe early Q3 I'd guess.
To be honest price wise I'm not sure, Razr know they have a product that will likely sell loads. Hell even if the only people who bought it are their core pc gamer component market they still stand to make millions out of it so they could afford to lower the price somewhat for the good publicity. I'm going to guess £75-£100

Looks like we were both wrong. Available this year and judging from the exchange rate £72.50 It does seem that they have dropped at least one of the functions that was making it a possible purchase for me in order to reduce the weight. rubschin:

Imagine how big the box would be for the 65"! eeek:
Not sure it would have even fitted in KIA-Ora... rubschin:
We probably need a 65" on the Screen Size equals 5/12 distance from viewer rule but can't be arsed to change it, move the shelf etc
A mate walked into the same shop the other day and they had a 70" Android telly on sale... He snapped it up but it wouldn't fit in his car! lol:
lol: lol: reminds me of those fools you see trying to put a van load into a Fiesta outside Ikea
Another problem I'd have with a 65" is there's a lot of wigglyampery and even a UPS hidden behind hours (it straddles a corner) and sometimes it needs attention. I can just about reach it over the top of our 55" but with a 65" noooo:

Given the level of injuries uninsured shithead e-scooter users cause to others (https://www.moveelectric.com/e-scooters/new-data-reveals-extent-e-scooter-accidents-uk-roads) then why sadly?
There's a reason why flying needs pilots licences and sobriety restrictions so this company's 'anyone can fly' campaign is stupid
