Opinion: I hope Siri Speaker is more Amazon Echo and less Echo Show

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/amazon-echo-show-nova.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1595&h=798)</div><p>Amazon’s Echo with (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/05/amazon-echo-leak-new-design-touchscreen/) a screen (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/08/touchscreen-echo-device-release-price/) is real (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/09/amazon-echo-show-buy-now-alexa-screen/) and it’s shipping at the end of next month (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J24C0TI/ref=ods_gw_d_kt_t1_twopack?tag=n003f1-20&amp;pf_rd_r=J290FMRVP76ZT7YVGSRA&amp;pf_rd_p=66dc2137-e398-45bb-9feb-abe5c7ef8b8a&amp;enableAutoPlay=1). Echo Show is a $230 7-inch tablet with video playback and calling that has to stay plugged in to work.</p>
<p>What makes that better than an iPad or any other tablet? Amazon hopes the answer is its Alexa voice assistant. While I’m curious about a voice-activated, always-present voice assistant (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/08/siri-speaker-wishlist/) that anyone can access in the home, the original Amazon Echo has more appeal to me. If Siri Speaker is something we see (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/01/siri-speaker-kgi-wwdc-home-ai/) next month at WWDC (https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/16/apple-announces-wwdc-2017-june-5th-9th-held-at-san-jose-mcenery-convention-center/) (before Echo Show ships (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J24C0TI/ref=ods_gw_d_kt_t1_twopack?tag=n003f1-20&amp;pf_rd_r=J290FMRVP76ZT7YVGSRA&amp;pf_rd_p=66dc2137-e398-45bb-9feb-abe5c7ef8b8a&amp;enableAutoPlay=1)!), I’m hoping it’s more Amazon Echo  (https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Echo-Bluetooth-Speaker-with-WiFi-Alexa-White/dp/B01E6AO69U/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3&amp;qid=1494258027&amp;keywords=amazon%252Becho&amp;tag=n003f1-20&amp;ie=UTF8)and less Echo Show…</p>
