Alexa+ Early Access now in the UK

[Jaymoss]

I just purchased the Show 11 and everything got updated to Alexa+ before it even arrived. You can register interest but if you buy a new device you get on it straight away

It did say my 2nd Echo Shows would not be part of it but they both are. The voice has changed and it is more conversational

my main concern with this is it lists it as continuing free with Prime after the early access but as a single product for £19.99 so no one will pay that and just pay Prime but does this forbode a large Prime increase in the near future

Not really interested in something thats "more conversational".
I dont chat to alexa, I mostly give it commands, sometimes ask a question.

I suspect most of my devices would be too old as well.

The one feature I liked the idea of when I first heard of it was setting up automations and routines with the ai and I have tested it and it works nicely. I have a lot of smart tech and like playing

It is also going to be a lot more helpful and we will hear a lot less "Sorry I can not help you with that" and the like . As an information device Echos have been pretty pants and I favoured Google Home which is pants at Smart home. Hopefully this will mean I can sell off the Home Max
