I don't think so.

I'm using our echos every day for time keeping, weather, music and lights.

My tablet (Nexus) I played with it way shorter.

Also I miss Alexa when I'm in a hotel.

What? No music? No timer? No quick weather report? No alarm clock and for the lights I have to use a switch?...

It's not just a gadget it is a very convenient input method.

And it is already super useful but still basically the first generation of devices.

There is now an Alexa app that provides the same functionality on smartphones.

Just bring a hockey puck one with you when you travel.
