Just had a thought, so wondered what you would feel if my thought was a reality:
Amazon have a design re-think:
The current Echo full model is scrapped.
The Dot, has a tiny redesign, simply by adding some contacts on the base and a recessed screw/turn connection in the base.
Ok, so now, you sell the Dot for £50 as always.
But you also sell three optional speaker bases.
The 1st one for £50 is approx half the height of the current full echo, you push and twist and this if now connected, with a single better speaker inside. the whole unit, once connected is about half the height of a current Echo.
The 2nd one for £100 is almost the same height as the current Echo, and when connected brings the combination up to the current Echo height, and sounds approx the same as it has 2 speakers.
The 3rd for £150 has 3 speakers, Bass, Mid, Treble, and when connected to the new Dot, is about 2" to 3" taller than the current Echo, but with better sound quality/range.
You can then sell tons of Dots.
Stop needing the also make Echo's
And offer these 3 speaker bases, that have the potential of at least one base being sold to every Dot owner, either now or in the future, perhaps even to a second hand buyer of a Dot, who in the future wants their Dot to have better sound.
Simple, Easy, Great for customers, Long term sales potential, answers all price brackets.
What do you think ?
