We talked about how Apple’s Phil Schiller was lamenting that the current wave of home-bot computer hubs like the Amazon Echo and Google Home didn’t have screens. Well, we had some tips that was about to change and this morning it did as Amazon debuted the Echo Show, an Alexa-powered hub with a 7-inch touchscreen.
The Amazon Echo Show looks a bit like a glorified alarm clock, but that’s OK, it what it does that counts. The new device is packing eight microphones, a 5-megapixel video camera, Dolby-massaged speakers for decent sound, and a long list of compatibility with security cameras, smart home devices, streaming media services and so on. And, you can make video or regular phone calls with it. Actually, you can now make and take calls with regular Echo devices as well.
We’ve got a full rundown on what the $230-dollar Show has to offer, so hit this link for all the details. Your move, Apple and Microsoft. Story:
