AIisLife commented on What Should I Add?
SilentCrescendo
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for what about the devices that work with Siri?  They've been around for some time.  Would it be premature to add the latest Petcube toys which work with Alexa?  Would that count as home robotics? 
AIisLife - Edited
I guess I can see those three products meeting the listed requirements.  They do something functional, are backed by big brands, and are likely to stick around, especially Siri.  I suppose you've convinced me. Thanks for the help!

I'm looking forward to it too and I'm dying to see what new weapons materialize and what the new world will look like. Fortnite gets more and more fun as the seasons progress.  I can't say that about many other games.

LG's rollable television is really cool, but it sure looks flimsy.  I could see young kids or a pet easily destroying it.  I'm anxious to see one in  person.

It beats having to mount the television with brackets.  It sure is thin and has to save a ton of wall space.  I like the soundbar that's built-in as well.

A hand warmer is a great idea but it would make sense if there was more power to it. The typical power bank has 10,000 mAh worth of power. I want to fully rely on this device when I am able to brave the cold, on my own.

That's a good point, Dante5, and in my experience, these devices never last as long as the manufacturers claim since they use perfect conditions for testing.
