I'd equally like to see a 2.5kg, 60" TV

Apologies, I wasn't aware I needed to do my research before posting. I assumed they'd have the information in the text on that link.

Videos take ages to load on my wi-fi so not bothered watching it.

They attach a retractable pole (very much like a motorised car radio aerial) to press the door bell with.

Can't see this happening, but wouldn't mind shooting at them if we do get them.
This it says up to 2.6kg which accounts for 82% of their deliveries

I guess the idea is if the item is light enough you could pay extra for Prime Air so you could potentially get the product within 30 minutes of ordering it if you are close enough to one of their warehouses. Whereas 1st class will be cheaper but then you have to wait till the next day for it to arrive. Not necessarily to replace normal deliveries, just a premium delivery option?

a drone that can lift 2.6 KG is going to big a pretty big machine right ? ie not any of these little shitty things you can buy from the shops. pretty neat idea though.

the future is coming.

I guess they should look into adding 'fall off the bottom of a drone' to their list.

I really hope no one thought this was real.

The national accident helpline would be constantly busy.

Funny how they announce something not particularly in place yet in the busiest month of the year.
