Why not just make a smartphone app? Maybe customize which virtual buttons you have based on what you need? Am I missing something?

#22This looks a little too elaborate for an April 1st joke, but they can't possibly serious? I mean, who will scatter these "buttons" all over their house, which will inevitably need new batteries at ever shorter and diverging intervals...
Stick a nice Duracell button beneath every one of them.

#23This looks awful. Imagine a house full of branded buttons. Yuk. Though I'm sure my toddler would love pressing them endlessly. And all that packaging in the video, the horror. It must an April fools joke.
I don't think it is.

The timing is terrible. Even if it's not a joke, they've just set themselves up for this exact comment.
Surely someone would have thought of this? Just seems like a really bad choice -- too bad for a company like Amazon to make (the timing, that is, coupled with a highly-branded product like this).

I don't know, looks amazing to me. Yea the branded button isn't great, but let's face it, it's going to be sitting next to the branded box/bottle anyway.
If your toddler presses it, the worst they can do is order once. It's configured to only allow one order until the item is delivered. That isn't to say your toddler still cannot do damage...

#26The video reads like some kind of dystopian consumer hell. Everything comes in a packet from a trusted brand who is taking care of you. Consume! Consume! Consume! See you useless you are when you can't consume! Your whole day is ruined.
Good job we've got your back. We'll send you some more of those precious packets.

I'm guessing it's bluetooth low energy, which I believe you can run off of a small battery for around a year.

#28Next they'll partner with OkCupid and we can just push a button when we want the next date to show up.

#29Works over Wi-Fi? Is there a screen on the back and a keypad to type the password and select the network? Wifi takes a lot of power. Does it use AAAs, or do you have to periodically recharge the batteries? That surely would be impractical. Especially if you have a button for multiple products in your house, as shown in the video - maintaining five or six of these things would be a pain. A separate Amazon app or a component of the Amazon app with a list of products you plan on reordering periodically seems much more practical.
Just doesn't seem plausible. April Fools is tomorrow.

#30Not sure why there's so much doubt about itss use. This is amazing for things like detergent.
When I run out of detergent, I don't want to add it to shopping list. I don't want to remember when to buy. I just want it outside my door before I run out! This applies to any item that I don't feel like buying but have to buy regularly.
