So here are a few of the main features built around your Echo Gadgets with the Brains of Alexa

Music and Entertainment:

Alexa can give you hands free voice control for Music & Entertainment, mute, volume up or down, stop, start.

Ask for Music by genre, mood, era, also use services like Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and Spotify Premium.
You could have Audio Books, Podcasts, Kindle Books, or Live Radio all with a simple command.

Calling and Messaging:

A new way to keep in touch with family and friends

by Calling or Messaging, the truth is lots of people now send texts so much when in could be much more personal with a nice voice call.
Yes you can use your Echo device to make a call even while your busy working around your home, making dinner or anything you fancy, and as long as you are connected to other Echo devices then its all free except for your Internet service of course.

News and Information:

Alexa helps you stay in touch and up to date with the News that's important to you.

Set up your own set of New Flashes, all you need to do is set up your voice profile and Alexa will recognize your voice and keep you updated, Just ask Alexa "whats the News"
How about some Traffic and Weather information or an update on your favorite sporting event !

Ask Question and get and Answer:

Need to find your Nearest Restaurant, how about the Opening or Closing times of a local Pharmacy, maybe just a simple maths question or calculation, its all possible on the right Echo Device.

Help around your Smart Home:

Make things easier, give your self a bit of breathing space.

There are so many features available once its all set up that it would take me all day to type this page, but how about setting a timer for cooking, call a plumber, dictate a shopping list, add a calendar event, ask for music while you cook.
I guess you get the general idea and remember this is all without picking anything up as its all voice controlled, how simple is that.

Smart Home Devices:

You can control devices such as Security Camera's, Lights, Switches, TV, Garage Doors, Smart

Thermostat, how about dimming the lights while your still in bed.
The setup is fairly easy, First chose your Smart Home Connected Device for example "Nest Cam Indoor Security Camera" next set it up according to instructions, Enable the Smart Home Skill, then go ahead and Ask Alexa.

Fun and Games with all the family:

How about asking Alexa to roll the dice for you while playing a game or answering a trivia question,

maybe just ask for a song or all manner of things, its all good fun and we all need a bit of fun that's for sure.

Voice Shopping:

Get this, if your an Amazon Prime member you can

place an order purely by asking Alexa to do it for you.
Alexa has exclusive deals for Amazon Prime members, everything from home goods to electronics.

Get to know your Alexa skills:

There are thousands of skills and they are growing very quickly, lots have been mentioned above but there are so many that you would need to check them out for yourself to fully take in the Alexa Skill set.

Take a 7 minute work out or ask Alexa to track your phone, maybe you need a Taxi or just want to ask whats going on with Twitter today.
