A slide on Alexa UX inconsistency across 1st and 3rd party devices:

Here are the first party apps and devices:

  • Echo
  • Echo Input (full functionality through AUX only)
  • Alexa phone app
  • Alexa PC app
  • Fire TV
  • (there’s also Fire TV tablet, but it has Alexa app on it)

And here are the 3rd party apps and devices:

  • Jabra Elite 65t Ear Buds
  • Vuzix AR Blade
