Just posting the Verge's review for now, but feel free to throw others in.

Gotta say, it is dumb as hell that the speaker can't be a speaker on its own. So if I'm listening to music, I can't pick up the tablet and move over to the couch without severing the audio connection. That is bananas. I'm sure it's a cost thing, given it'd need a chip of its own, but ffs.

Their cost benefit analysis seems short-sighted. Having a chip wouldn't be too expensive as even a Nest Mini has it. Just increase the price by $25 but provide that functionality imo.
