How would you make the Amazon Echo better?

The Amazon Echo is a consumer product that's been getting quite a bit of attention in the US.

A Google search for it gets 41,000,000 results.

You set it on a table or countertop, and you can ask questions and get answers, set a timer, ask it to play music, or play one of your audio books. That's it. It does a pretty good job of doing those things. 

How could we make it better?
  • We could use it to make phone calls.
  • It could be portable. The Echo isn't a portable device.
  • It could show pictures
  • It could take pictures
  • It could dance
I agree dancing isn't really what we NEED from such a device but the Amazon Echo could be enormously improved if it could just SHOW pictures... 

Say what you think about RoBoHon --- it does what an Amazon Echo does -- only far more and far better. This will put Amazon on notice what CAN be done with their device.
