It's not just Amazon itself that is yet to truly launch in Australia.
The company's Alexa-powered Echo (http://mashable.com/category/amazon-echo/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) devices are not currently available in Australia or New Zealand, either. But they're on their way, launching in both countries "early next year."
