What I meant is the echo does not use Apple airplay service. It relies on

What you can do to get your IPhone and echo to play together through bluetooth
is tell your echo to pair. This will connect it via bluetooth. It will play
everything through the echo including voiceover. According to my friend it
won't do things like whats app through it.

Good luck.

When you disconnect your iPhone from the echo, be prepared for voiceover fun.
It goes to zero on the phone.

You are right they will ship on July 14, The price is close to $200. I would
have appreciated a note indicating I would not receive an invitation to order.

Now I am curious. When you disconnected the iPhone from Echo by turning
Bluetooth off, did your volume go crazy again? I did it by telling Alexa to
disconnect, and my volume went down, both the regular volume and voiceover
volume. Maybe disconnecting Bluetooth or turning it off, on the iPhone,
The echo is now generally available for sale, as I understand it. No invitation
necessary. So, I would think that there would not be any more special okay
issued for purchase, since you can just go and order it. I don't know what it
costs. I certainly hope it isn't $200, as they had suggested
I'll have to ask a friend of mine, but he has his IPhone and echo connected and
plays everything through the echo with no problems.

Yes! There are fairly good instructions on their web site, and, you’ll need to
install the Amazon Echo app on your mobile device. And, I must say, the echo
app is a big pain to configure.

Hello,
I would like to have an echo. I requested an invitation in early April and
there was an indication I should hear something in several weeks. Since the

I hope the unit will work with airplay.

The echo at this time definitely does not work with airplay. I would not hold
my breath waiting for it to do so, as that is probably not what Amazon has in
mind.

I forgot to mention, that you can also play or audible books on the echo.

Brian,
I don't think you're supposed to be able to play MLB from your phone to the

you select on your iPhone and plant over the echo speaker. I haven't done it.
But that is what is supposed to do. As for your other
I wonder if MLB supports Airplay but not Bluetooth? That would seem odd
though that the Echo makes VO go quiet. It might not be able to handle more
than one thing, as even Alexa's voice doesn't speak over anything, and Apple
doesn't have the way to do it like that where it pauses to speak.
