Alexa, you might know, is the female persona inhabiting the Echo, a Wi-Fi-enabled black cylinder about the size of a Pringles can, which you prime to answer your questions or perform services by invoking her name. âAlexa â¦ whatâs the weather,â etc. etc. I was given a $179 Echo last year as a gift, and a $49 Echo Dot â a squashed down version endowed with a lousier speaker but equipped with Bluetooth capability â as another gift for Fatherâs Day.
Amazon has a new Echo lineup with tiered-speaker heights that remind us of Starbucks coffee sizes (grande, venti, and trenta). Amazon makes a cylindrical, internet-connected Bluetooth speaker called Echo, which doubles as your personal, cloud-based assistant, addressed as Alexa. Now, one year after launching Echo, it is debuting two sibling speakers. The new ones are called Amazon Tap and Echo Dot. If you were to sit all three speakers next to each other, starting with the Echo and ending with the Dot, one would be tall, one would be medium, and one would be short.
