> It must be an April fools joke

Maybe considering their history of product announcements (Amazon Echo), they're being cautious about it this time. If it gets mocked, they'll just say "Oh it was an April Fool's joke"

That's terrible. Imagine being the team who built that product, only to have them say, "Too many people thought it was a joke, sorry"

That's my guess. Nor eat way to test the waters with a product announcement without putting your neck fully out there.
