  Interesting that Amazon is pushing Zigbee (IoT network protocol) for its Echo smart speakers. Also Bluetooth and its own Sidewalk network. https://press.aboutamazon.com/ ...

  one of my fav things to do with an echo dot is mount it right to a wall outlet and uh... don't think that's going to work with this! https://twitter.com/...

  Amazon says it continues to make our conversations with Alexa more natural. For example, I can now say to it, “Alexa, set the lights to Brian's reading mode” to adjust smart lights to my desired level for reading a book. So natural, just rolls right off the tongue.

  Echo is now, objectively, adorable. https://twitter.com/...

  First new product: a redesigned $99 Echo. Looks like a sphere. Has improved/faster speech processing.

  Damn those new kids Echo Dots are insanely adorable. I can see my kiddo going right up to it to have a full-on conversation. That's both a fun and scary picture.

  Early prototypes of the portal used a motorized base. It was really awkward to have it move so I'm very curious to see how this feels: https://www.theverge.com/...

  My Alexa constantly asking me follow up questions about how well it did at simple commands was a big reason I finally dropped it for Google Assistant. https://twitter.com/...

  Anybody else minding the Amazon devices event overwhelmed by the pace? Look, a spherical Echo Dot. Now some software. Oh hey here's a home security tool. And can I interest you in wifi? Doing a pre-recorded event has unhinged Amazon from any physical constraints on pacing.

  everybody in the processor game now! (though this is more akin to Microsoft's partnership with Qualcomm for the Surface Pro X chip than say, Apple's chip line) https://twitter.com/...

• @greengart Avi Greengart on x

  This is branded as @Amazon silicon, but it's more of a directed collaboration with @mediatek, which has been making pretty much all the processors that go into #amazondevices (and many of its competitors). Still, big win for both companies. https://twitter.com/...

• @stshank Stephen Shankland on x

  Also I'm intrigued that Amazon (like Google, Apple, and others) decided not just to add custom AI processing hardware to Echo but also to give it a brand name: the AZ1 Neural Edge processor. https://twitter.com/...
