REVIEW: Amazon's newest Echo speaker is not for everyone
Amazon
On June 28, Amazon will release its $229 Echo Show, the latest entry in the retail giant's line of Echo smart speakers.
Like the other Echo devices, the Echo Show is powered by the Alexa virtual assistant, which lets you use simple voice commands to get the weather, set alarms and timers, peruse the news, control smart thermostats and light bulbs, and even shop on Amazon.
The Echo Show, however, is different in one big way: It sports a 7-inch touchscreen. To use Amazon's tagline, "now Alexa can show you things." Wisely, Amazon is hyping up the ability to use it as a video phone, but it has some other neat tricks, too.
I've been using the Echo Show for the last several days. It's an intriguing experiment, and it'll get a lot of Alexa fans excited. But it probably isn't for everyone.
Here's the deal with the Echo Show.
