Because when you're in that room you don't need to get your device out of your pocket?

But I don't buy that almost everyone will have it in their pocket, given the number of times I see people looking for their phones all over the place.

$200 is an awful lot to spend to keep from having to look for your phone while in just one room of your house.

Right. It also struck me as funny in the video that the Echo had moved into their bedroom. Did they buy two? Or are they carting the thing around the house with them (instead of their phones)?

Lots of people spend far more than that on fairly frivolous things.

How does the Echo even rise to the standard of frivolity? A far better word for it is "superfluous."
