Amazon Introduces a New Echo

This content has been archived. It may no longer be accurate or relevant.

Amazon has introduced Echo (2nd Generation) and will be releasing it on October 31.

It’s cheaper ($99 for some models) than the initial Echo and physically shorter. Amazon says it includes improved sound powered by Dolby. It also comes in different colors/finishes.

You can pre-order now. Cursor down at the link for lots of additional information, video, photos, etc.

Amazon is also introducing a new Echo Plus that includes a built-in smart-home hub and smart lightbulb. It looks like the original Echo.

For PG, the most interesting of the new Echo devices is the Echo Spot for $129. It has a small built-in video screen and, from the photos, looks like it’s about the size of a grapefruit. It does all the standard Echo stuff plus you can use it for video calls to other people with Echo screen devices and watch a selection of videos that Amazon will make available.

    • Parents needn’t worry: Customers must show valid ID to receive the order.

      [T]here’s no chance that “Alexa, score me some weed,” will work any time soon.

      Just a matter of time, Dave. Just a matter of time.
