Not sure if this is the right place for this, but it appears that Amazon is incorporating the Alexa (Echo) voice control inside of the Amazon app on iOS.

I am just now experimenting with this functionality. It seems to work, even outside the home network. Sitting in backyard, out of wifi range, using Amazon app on iPhone (cellular) to ask Alexa to play music through house mounted speakers. Pretty cool... Sonos should promote this!
