00:00I thought I wanted Apple's Home View, but Amazon's new Echo Show 16 just gave me three reasons to reconsider.
00:06First, the new Alexa Home Map feature might actually make my ridiculous number of smart home devices manageable.
00:11It's basically a 3D map of your house, so you can see what devices are on and control them.
00:16Here's where you can also get real-time monitoring from your ring cameras.
00:20Second, Alexa Plus finally gives you something to look at.
00:23Conversations become interactive cards, so you can revisit them anytime you want.
00:27Third, and this is the one that's really winning me over.
00:31It doubles as a Fire TV with a matte display, so I can watch football games while making my Sunday
00:36gravy.
00:36Remember, Apple Home View doesn't have any content or streaming yet.
00:40Those are the reasons Amazon's newest smart display could win a spot on my counter over Apple.
00:45But would you pick the Echo Show 16, or are you Team Home View?
